Joe Brown had previously made What a Crazy World. He thought that film was "great fun" but disliked Three Hats for Lisa:

I hated that film but I got along with Sidney James and Una Stubbs. The songs were poor even though they were written by Leslie Bricusse. I hate dancing and they made me dance. It was going to be made in summer but it was put back and shot in the middle of winter. We were dancing on the roof of London Airport, which felt like the coldest place in the world.

Brown's daughter Samantha was born during filming.
