• The principle of the story is similar to Late Spring (1949) also directed by Yasujirō Ozu: in that movie, a young woman living with her widowed father does not want to marry in order not to leave him alone, while in Late Autumn (1960) (Akibiyori) the young woman lives with her widowed mother.

• In 1961, Late Autumn (1960) (Akibiyori) was selected as the Japanese entry for the Best Foreign Language Film at the 33rd Academy Awards®, but was not accepted as a nominee.

• The original title "Akibiyori" means "Clear autumn day."
