Production

Bartel wrote the film in the early 1970s saying " at the time it was the kind of movie I most wanted to make." The script was influenced by 1930s and 1940s screwball comedies. Bartel based the character name "Lois Thorndyke" on heroines from Frank Capra films and the comic book character Lois Lane. He after having made Eaating Raoul "as a very personal film, I was back again to wanting to make Not for Publication.

Bartel's success from Eating Raoul, enabled him to raise $3 million for this film, ten times the budget of Raoul. $2.5 million of the film's budget came from EMI. Bartel said EMI "sought me out and let me make whatever I wanted".

Bartel said the increased budget allowed for him to use a camera crane, hire relatively well known actors like Nancy Allen and David Naughton, and to produce a musical number in the film.

Filming began in New York City on October 3, 1983. After a week of filming in New York, the production relocated to Texas where Dallas stood in for New York. Filming concluded on November 22.
