Love Before Breakfast (1936)


Universal Pictures
Directed by Walter Lang
My rating: 2 stars out of 4
IMDb
(DVD, Universal)

Socialite Carole Lombard is pursued by wealthy oil magnate Preston Foster, who won't take no for an answer. He buys a competing company just so he can send her fiance to Japan and eliminate the competition. He shows up in her house, at her stylist or on the trail riding a horse, ignoring all of her pleas to just leave her alone. So, he tries giving her the cold shoulder and letting her fiance come home. Incredibly, that works, leading to the predictable happy ending. Foster is just plain annoying, Lombard is watchable as always but this is not her best role.
