The film was made at the Lime Grove Studios with sets designed by the art director Cedric Dawe.

Production

Margaret Lockwood refused to do the film and was put on suspension by Rank. She said when she read the script - then called Roses for Her Pillow - "as I reached the last page I hurled the manuscript across the room. I had never been so angry." She complained to her agent "how dare they offer me a part like that... It's no more than that of a stooge." Her agent tried to see if they could improve it but Lockwood said "I would not listen.

The film was cancelled in October 1947 while head of studio Sydney Box tried to figure out how to reconfigure the movie.

Ralph Thomas was head of the trailer department for the Rank Film Organisation. He had made a number of trailers for producer Sydney Box, including one for the film Miranda (1948) which Box liked. "He was particularly taken with it," said Thomas. When the original director for Once Upon a Dream fell ill, Box offered Thomas the chance to direct.
