On 14 April 2015 it was announced that Gemma Arterton, Sam Claflin, and Bill Nighy would star in the World War II–set romantic comedy film based on the 2009 novel Their Finest Hour and a Half by Lissa Evans.[3] BBC Films developed the film, hiring Lone Scherfig to direct the film which was adapted by Gaby Chiappe. BBC Films would co-finance the film, which Number 9 Films and Wildgaze Films would produce with its Stephen Woolley and Amanda Posey, while HanWay Films would handle the international rights.[3] On 13 May 2015 Lionsgate acquired the UK rights to the film.[5] On 10 September 2015 Jack Huston and Jake Lacy joined the film along with Richard E. Grant, Helen McCrory, Eddie Marsan, Rachael Stirling, and Henry Goodman.[4]

Principal photography on the film began in early September 2015, in London[6][7] and was partly shot in Pembrokeshire.[8]

Rudy Cipolla's "Sunset in Capri" was arranged by Sheri Mignano for her mandolin ensemble.
