Lotte and Lisa had already been adapted into the films Two Times Lotte (1950), and Hibari no komoriuta (1951). Twice Upon a Time was the first English language film adaptation; the story was later adapted as The Parent Trap (1961), and has been remade a number of times in both English and many other languages.

This film is the only solo directing credit for Pressburger, whose other directing credits are in association with Michael Powell.
