Entertainment (via ownership of Turner Entertainment) owns the distribution rights to the original, as of yet, they have not released an authorized DVD release of the sequel.

Production
Father's Little Dividend was semi-remade in 1995 as Father of the Bride Part II, with Steve Martin and Diane Keaton in Tracy and Bennett's roles. However, Keaton's character also has a baby and the plot has many similarities to this movie.Spencer Tracy and Joan Bennett had made films together two decades earlier, including Me and My Gal (1932), in which their characters marry, and She Wanted a Millionaire (1932).
