Marius is 19 and Fanny is 18 at the beginning of the play. In reality, Horst Buchholz was 28 and Leslie Caron was 30 when they played their respective roles.
Joshua Logan was anxious to replicate the success of Gigi (1958) and according to Leslie Halliwell insisted on a publicity campaign for "Joshua Logan's 'Fanny' ", until the double meaning was explained to him.
Audrey Hepburn turned down the title role.
Joshua Logan had trouble finding a suitable ship for the Mailaisie, on which Marius sails from Marseilles. The only square-rigged sailing ships they could find were too large to get through Marseilles' harbour. After scouting throughout the Mediterranean they found the perfect ship in Palma, but had to agree to let its captain appear on camera before he would let them use it.
The east side of the port at Marseilles had not been touched in decades, making it a perfect location for a period film like this. But the west side had been rebuilt after World War II. Originally, art director Rino Mondellini got permission from the mayor to put false fronts on the new buildings. When he started drilling holes in the sidewalk for the posts that would support the facades, however, the townspeople objected, and the mayor rescinded his permission. Mondellini called the eighteen holes he had already made "The most expensive golf course in the world".
"Marius: [angrily insulting Panisse] Lecher! Panisse: What? Marius: Eunuch! Fanny: Oh, Marius, be consistent. He can't be both. Marius: Debaucher of young girls!"
"Fanny: Why weren't you at the dance last night? Marius: Well, I can live without dancing. Fanny: I dance practically every dance with Victor. Very good dancer. Very polite and clever too. Marius: Victor? Is he that little boy with the large pimples? Fanny: Oh the pimples are all gone now. Marius: I'm glad to hear it. Fanny: They've been replaced by boils."
