Though much more lighthearted than most of his films, according to Ken Russell, this was the most difficult film he ever made.
The theatre used in this film was The New Theatre Royal in Portsmouth. This is not the same theatre in which Ken Russell filmed the Pinball Wizard sequence in Tommy (1975), which was filmed at the Kings Theatre in Southsea. Both theatres are still very much active.
The screen rights for the film were originally bought by MGM producer Arthur Freed in 1957 as a star vehicle for Debbie Reynolds. After Reynolds turned the part down, Liza Minnelli was briefly considered for the role of Polly Browne. Freed then shelved the project to concentrate on his Irving Berlin revue, "Say It with Music" (which was never filmed).
Final film of Max Adrian.

"Polly: [singing] We've got to have, We plot to have, For it's a dreary not to have, That certain thing called "The Boy Friend""
"Hortense, Maisie, Fay, Dulcie, Nancy: [singing] We'd save for him, And slave for him, We'd even misbehave for him, That certain thing called "The Boy Friend""
