Ultra-lightweight screwball comedy that works in spots, thanks to the heroic efforts of the cast. The premise is ridiculous even by genre standards, and Stanwyck's obsessive campaign to win Marshall by hook or crook borders on the psychopathic. Still, most of it goes by pleasantly enough, and the two wedding scenes are funny. The last act, though, loses focus, and the ending is pretty weak.
In short, it's both watchable and forgettable. What I can't figure out is why they called it Breakfast For Two when Stanwyck offers a far better title in a throwaway line: "Blame it on the night."
