Production

The film was based on a story by the writer of the novel Bang to Rights, Frank Norman. The film was described as a sequel to Jazz Boat (1960) and featured many of the same cast and crew.

Irwin Allen said in August 1959, while Jazz Boat ws still filming, that "after seeing the rushes for Jazz Boat it was quite apparent that we had on film a remarkable box office project and we decided immediately to put into action this sequel."

The featured song "Must Be" was written by Lionel Bart.

Filming took place starting 14 September 1959 with a week's location work and the rest of the movie shot at MGM's Boreham Wood studio. This resulted in Let's Get Married.

Warwick were reportedly so pleased with the film during filming it considered making a third film with the same team.
