Lewis is quoted as saying Sinatra was going through customs with a briefcase containing "three and a half million in fifties" and that customs officials opened the case. But due to crowds jostling for a glimpse of the star, officials aborted their search.
Customs would have needed a crane to open the case. $3.5 million in fifties amounts to 70,000 $50 bills. A case big enough to hold that volume of bills would have been bigger than Frankie himself. Perhaps Jerry Lewis overdosed on that stuff he took in "The Nutty Professor." :rolleyes:
