Barbara Stanwyck and Herbert Marshall in Breakfast for Two (1937)

Trivia

Breakfast for Two

Edit
This film features one of the earliest uses of air quotes and the term "pub-crawling", both of which need to be explained to the other characters.
When 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.
First of two pairings of Barbara Stanwyck and Herbert Marshall; their other film is Always Goodbye (1938).
Glenda Farrell, who was at the beginning of her successful "Torchy Blane" series, was borrowed from Warner Bros. for this film.
Monte Vandergrift, William Gould, and Landers Stevens are listed as cast members by a modern source, but they did not appear or were not identifiable in the movie.
