It was written by Elwood Ullman and released by Columbia Pictures on December 18, 1947.

Production notes

Wedlock Deadlock is a remake of the Monte Collins short film Unrelated Relations (1936). [1]

DeRita did not think highly of his output at Columbia Pictures, once commenting, "My comedy in those scripts was limited to getting hit on the head with something, then going over to my screen wife to say, 'Honey, don't leave me!' For this kind of comedy material, you could have gotten a busboy to do it and it would have been just as funny." [2]
