Production
And I Love You So was the first Star Cinema-produced film not to be shown in any theater operated by SM City Chain, the largest in the Philippines. ABS-CBN canceled releasing the film after a negotiation over profit sharing between the two companies bogged down.
"And I Love You So" was a popular song by Don McLean and Perry Como. The song was covered by Gary Valenciano for the film. A version by Sam Milby was also used in the film.
