Here Comes the Groom is a 1951 American musical romantic comedy film produced and directed by Frank Capra and starring Bing Crosby and Jane Wyman.

Based on a story by Robert Riskin and Liam O'Brien, the film is about a foreign correspondent who has five days to win back his former fiancée, or he'll lose the orphans he adopted.

Later that night, Pete listens to a record sent by the fiancée he left behind in America, Emmadel, scolding him for leaving her at the altar and talking about the children they might have had.

While she bonds with Bobby and Suzi, Pete discovers that Emmadel is engaged to an aristocratic man, Wilbur Stanley, whose office she works in.

After she pulls Suzi's loose tooth, Pete pretends to be in love with Winnifred, Wilbur's fourth cousin twice-removed, and laughs when Emmadel pratfalls on her huge party dress.

As he escorts Emma down the aisle, Pa Jones tells her that Pete kidnapped the children and ran so they wouldn't be sent back to France.

On national television, Wilbur abandons his own wedding and forces a reluctant Emma and a protesting (but secretly thrilled) Pete to marry.

Bing Crosby arranged for the world premiere of the film to be held in Elko, Nevada, on July 30, 1951, and the charitable events associated with it raised $10,000 for the Hospital Building Fund.

Bosley Crowther of The New York Times commented: Again the calculated coincidence of Frank Capra and Bing Crosby combined to produce and direct a picture and star in it, respectively, has resulted in a light, breezy item, nicely marked with the genial Capra touch and adorned with the cheerful disposition and the casual vocalizing of Bing.

The box-office response should be as hearty as its laughs, particularly after strong word-of-mouth potential gets going ... Crosby is at his casual best, nonchalantly tossing his quips for the most effect.
