Casting

Kate Winslet was the first actor who came on board for the film in July 2016, followed by Juno Temple and Jim Belushi. 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."

Allen later signed Justin Timberlake in the role of a lifeguard, 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?'" On August 19, 2016, Tony Sirico joined the cast. In September 2016, Jack Gore, Steve Schirripa, and Max Casella rounded out the cast of the film.
