Production

According to Rakoff, Say Hello to Yesterday was "a 1970 Brief Encounter a picture designed purely for entertainment, with no morals or messages unless the public like to find them."

Jean Simmons returned to London after a five-year absence to star in the film.

According to Rakoff, "The original title was to have been Whatever Happened to Happy Endings? but Cinerama didn't want to use this title, partly because Jean Simmons had just starred in and been Academy Award nominated for, the similarly titled The Happy Ending and partly because Cinerama feared that because Whatever Happened to Baby Jane? was a film of the era and there was a series of Whatever Happened...

The song played during the closing credits was sung by Mark Wynter.

Filming took ten weeks in London at Twickenham Studios and on location in London, Slough, and Ascot railway station.
