Producer Raymond Stross liked the dialogue of one of writer/director Gerry O'Hara's other scripts and asked to read anything else the writer-director had. Stross suggested O'Hara write something set in Chelsea, so he wrote the script A Time and a Place which became The Pleasure Girls. O'Hara hated the title and the title music because it had nothing to do with the film. Yet he still felt the movie "came out rather good."
The film was shot in a house in Kensington because they didn't have the money for a studio. But director Gerry O'Hara felt that made the whole thing much more realistic.
Reportedly, an alternate version of a party scene was filmed with brief nudity that only appears in the export print.
