The trauma of divorcing his young wife, Mia Farrow hit Frank Sinatra hard early in 1968 when he was filming 'Lady in Cement' (1968) in Florida during the day and performing at the Fontainebleau at night.(...) Refusing to do more than one take and ripping out handfuls of the script to save time, Sinatra treated the director, Gordon Douglas, like a lackey who was on the film simply to accommodate him. At Frank’s insistence Douglas scheduled his scenes so that he never had to come to work before noon; the sets were pre-lit, and his double plotted every move so that by the time Frank arrived, he could complete action on one set and proceed to the next without delay. The film was finished within six weeks and the post-production details fell to Michael Viner, the twenty-one-year-old assistant to the producer. Michael Viner said, “At the end of the film there were a couple of problems involving Sinatra. One night he was so mad at the scriptwriter, he ripped a fire ax out of its casing and chopped down the door to his room, which cost us a few hundred dollars. Then there was a pr0st!tute who complained that Frank and his pals had not treated her quite right. She said that after an all-night party, Frank had invited her to stay for breakfast and called for an order of ham and eggs, which he then ate off her chest with a knife and fork. She threatened to sue Twentieth Century Fox because of that incident, but we settled before it got to court.” ("His Way - The Unauthorised Biography of Frank Sinatra", Kitty Kelley, 1986)
