This was originally supposed to be a Walter Matthau/Jack Lemmon movie with the role of Matt Douglas written for Matthau. However, due to illness, Matthau pulled out and was replaced by James Garner.
Star Jack Lemmon did all of his own stunts for this movie, except for one brief horse riding scene.
At the Russell P. Kramer Presidential Library in Ohio, there is a life size cutout of President Kramer in a U.S. Naval officer's uniform. Jack Lemmon really served in the U.S. Navy during World War II.
In his memoirs, Garner wrote that he enjoyed working with Lemmon but felt the director "was a self appointed genius who didn't know his ass from second base and Jack and I both knew it."
Kramer and Douglas were originally written to be younger, with Robin Williams and Dustin Hoffman eyed to star. This would have reunited the actors after starring in Hook (1991).
"[Russell Kramer's made-up words to "Hail to the Chief."] Russell Kramer: Hail to the chief, he's the chief and he needs hailing. He is the chief, so everybody hail like crazy. Hail to... that's more or less how it..."
"Matt Douglas: A cookbook. He wrote a cookbook. How dare he? Joanna: Well, you know, when he was President, he did cook for his guests all the time. Matt Douglas: That's not the point. Did George Washington write a book called "Your Wooden Teeth and You?" Did William Howard Taft write "Thirty Days To A Slimmer Ass?" It's shameful, just shameful."
