Casting

Kate Winslet was the first actor who came on board for the film in July 2016,[4] followed by Juno Temple and Jim Belushi.[5] Allen, describing the casting process, said that, "The first person I cast was Kate Winslet, then I cast a young girl named Juno Temple who I thought very much of," and "I cast Jim Belushi who I thought was absolutely perfect for it."[6]

Allen later signed Justin Timberlake in the role of a lifeguard,[7][8] saying that “I was doing this film and I thought, who could I get that would be an interesting guy to play a lifeguard in about 1950? I was sitting and talking with my brain trust. Someone said, ‘What about Justin Timberlake?'"[6] On August 19, 2016, Tony Sirico joined the cast.[9] In September 2016, Jack Gore, Steve Schirripa, and Max Casella rounded out the cast of the film.[10][11][12]
