Emergency Wedding (titled Jealousy in the UK) is a 1950 American comedy film directed by Edward Buzzell and starring Larry Parks, Barbara Hale and Willard Parker. It is a remake of You Belong to Me (1941), a film in which Parks had also appeared. [1] [2]
Dr. Helen Hunt is a physician married to millionaire Peter Judson Kirk Jr., who is jealous that his wife is spending too much time with her male patients. He makes a fool of himself trying to prove her guilt, which causes her to leave. But when he donates funds for a new hospital, she returns to him. [3]
In a contemporary review for The New York Times , critic A. H. Weiler wrote: "'Emergency Wedding,' except for a titter or two and an attempt to diagnose what ails organized medicine, is an unimpressive reproduction. ... 'Emergency Wedding,' to render a terse diagnosis, is not precisely what the doctor ordered." [4]
