Description

Love Before Breakfast (Universal, 1936). Near Mint/ Mint. Title Lobby Card (11" X 14").
One of the most striking and dramatic images for a film that is a comedy, this evocative image of Carole Lombard certainly attracted attention. She made all of her light screwball comedies look effortless, and she is completely delightful fending off love from two men in this Walter Lang-directed romance. Lombard, as Park Avenue beauty Kay Colby, is courted by both oil company owner Scott Miller (Preston Foster) and her fiancé, who is also Miller's employee, Bill Wadsworth (Cesar Romero). She is at her comedic best in this classic film, known for featuring some of the most incredible photography of Lombard ever captured. It would be absolutely impossible to ever find a finer unrestored example of this wonderful title card, without benefit of a time machine, as it shows only the faintest trace of handling, with no other discernable detractions.
