Filming

Two characters of Leonid Gaidai's films bear the initials "Petukhov S.D.". Besides Petukhov being "A Groom from the Right Society", he is also the furtive director of a base in the film "Operation Y and Shurik's Other Adventures". Vladimir Vladislavsky, who played director of a base in "Operation Y", played a psychiatrist in "A Groom from the Right Society".

Principal photography of the film took place in June 1957, in Kislovodsk, some scenes were filmed in Pyatigorsk. "BORE" building is the central children's library in Kislovodsk on Krasnoarmeyskaya street.

This is the only one of Gaidai's films, which has undergone substantial censorship: from a feature film, which plays around ironically with Soviet bureaucracy and chicanery, under pressure from the Minister of Culture of the USSR Nikolai Mikhailov, a lot of material was cut which turned the feature into a short. At this time Gaidai developed an ulcer which became a chronic condition for him.
