The film was originally called Miami, based on a novel by Stephen Powy. In May 1941, the title was changed to Moon Over Miami.

In December 1940, Walter Lang was assigned to direct. Betty Grable was set as star and George Seaton was finishing the script. In January it was announced Jack Haley and Charlotte Greenwood would join the film. Shortly afterwards Don Ameche, Robert Cummings and Carole Landis were cast. (Cummings was borrowed from Universal.)

Filming was to have started on January 20, 1941. However filming was pushed back to enable Cummings to finish The Devil and Miss Jones and for Ameche to complete Kiss the Boys Goodbye. Cobina Wright Jr replaced Lynn Bari who went into Sun Valley Serenade.
