Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaWhen Valentine and Jonathan are wearing boxing gloves and sparring around, it's obvious that Jonathan is not Herbert Marshall but instead is his stand-in. Marshall lost a leg in World War I and had an artificial leg for the rest of his life. The artificial leg caused him great pain and severely restricted his movements. Careful observation of his performances shows that he rarely stands for long periods of time and spends considerable time sitting or leaning against objects.
- GoofsAlthough Barbara Stanwyck's character is supposed to be a life-long Texan, she makes no attempt to mask her Brooklyn accent.
- Quotes
Valentine Ransome: Four score and twenty years ago, our fathers brought forth on this continent, a new nation, dedicated to the proposition that all men are created equal.
Carol Wallace: She knows the Constitution!
- Crazy creditsThe opening credits are shown on a China serving platter, to go along with the movie's title, Breakfast for Two.
- ConnectionsReferences The Virginian (1929)
Featured review
some good fun
Rich drunken playboy Jonathan Blair (Herbert Marshall) wakes up in the morning to find Valentine Ransome (Barbara Stanwyck) ready to leave. He had passed out and she brought him home after a night of partying. Actress Carol Wallace, one of his girlfriends, shows up to find them having breakfast. Valentine vows to reform the irresponsible, spoiled, womanizing playboy despite only met him once and then marry him.
Stanwyck has plenty of fun with her smile and her sass. She has a great bit with boxing. She's all kinds of fun. He's a fine foil. It's not the hottest of romances but it's good light fun.
