Here Comes the Groom (1951)

Recently returned to Boston, reporter Bing Crosby must get married in five days or lose custody of the two orphans he has adopted. Unfortunately Jane Wyman, the woman he’s hoping to marry, has become engaged to Franchot Tone in his absence. Crosby’s character isn’t easy to root for and the songs are mostly unnecessary, but mixed into that is some good, often slapsticky, humor. I wish it had taken a different turn in the end, but otherwise it’s a fun, lighthearted diversion.
