...Love Before Breakfast," is as crazy as its title, but is more than averagely amusing. Preston Foster crashes through with a lot of fast comebacks to make up for the merely average performance of Carole Lombard.

But the finale falls flat once again. Preston and Carole are married while conducting a licentious altercation. Pathe news catches...
