Bundle of Joy is a 1956 American Technicolor musical film directed by Norman Taurog and starring Eddie Fisher, Debbie Reynolds (who were married in real-life at the time) and Adolphe Menjou. It is a remake of the 1939 comedy film Bachelor Mother, which starred Ginger Rogers and David Niven, and was itself an English remake of the 1935 Austrian-Hungarian comedy film Little Mother.

Produced by Edmund Grainger, it was distributed by RKO Pictures. An unmarried salesgirl at a department store finds and takes care of an abandoned baby. Much confusion results when her co-workers assume the child is hers and that the father is the son of the store owner.
