Interesting facts

Production

Lovetide was director Ishirō Honda's follow-up to his film Godzilla and was his first film specifically made for female audiences. The film was made with the studio promoting it as "a gorgeous love melodrama with Toho's best cast, meant for all the women-fans."

The film is based on the story Fukeyo kawakaze by Hidemi Kon. The film's story and cast (specifically Mariko Okada and Chieko Nakakita, the wife of producer Tomoyuki Tanaka) have been described Honda authors Steve Rylfe and Ed Godziszewski as being similar to the film Floating Clouds that was directed by Mikio Naruse and released a few weeks after Lovetide.
