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."[4]
