No one's mentioned "Hobson's Choice"?
https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0047094/

It was made in b/w in 1954 and set in Manchester in the 1880s. Henry Hobson owns a boot shop and has 3 daughters. The boot shop's success is down to Willie Mossop, te 18 shilling a week boot-hand who has a natural gift for leather.

Maggie, the eldest daughter, decides she's going to marry Willie and turn him into the man he should be.

He's terrified at the thought, Henry's furious, but Maggie's not to be stopped.

It's a comedy and it's a romance, and it's one of my favourite films.
