Production

Earl St John presold half the film's cost to Paramount.

Director Harold French enjoyed doing the film although he later said he should have concentrated on the illness of the central characters more than the romance. He said Guy Rolfe was originally cast but had to drop out due to consumption and was replaced by Michael Rennie.

Ken Annakin had directed an installment of Quartet and says being on the film "gave me full scope for leading actors through the character subtleties developed by the master."
