'Emergency Wedding' (titled 'Jealousy' in the UK) is a 1950 film directed by Edward Buzzell and starring Larry Parks and Barbara Hale. It is a remake of 'You Belong to Me', a film in which Parks appeared in a bit part.
Plot
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.

Reception
In a contemporary review for 'The New York Times', critic A. H. Weiler wrote that Claude Binyon's script was largely a facsimile of Dalton Trumbo's script for the 1941 film 'You Belong to Me'. Weiler described 'Emergency Wedding' as "lightweight without being especially gay or serious" and "an unimpressive reproduction."
