In this comedy, two small-time con men steal an honest ex-convict's car and use it to rob a bank. They then hide the loot in the car's spare tire. Unfortunately for the ex-con, his car ends up repossessed and eventually sold to a parish priest who immediately drives off for a much-needed fishing trip. The priest is then stopped by a cop who recognizes the vehicle from the robbery. The priest is blamed for the crime and jailed; he is then released and the ex-con is arrested in his place. Because the police claim that the priest has been harboring criminals in his parish, his monsignor transfers him. The good parishioners are so distraught that the con men feel remorse and confess to their crime. Peace is restored, and happiness ensues. ~ Sandra Brennan, All Movie Guide

Love Before Breakfast was the scintillating title Universal chose over Spinster Dinner, the Faith Baldwin novel upon which this airy comedy is based. Carole Lombard is a Park Avenue beauty squired by Preston S. Foster and Cesar Romero. Since neither gentleman is a prize catch, Lombard is fey and fickle throughout the film. That's all there is to Love Before Breakfast, which might have been completely forgotten had it not been for a famous 1930s-era painting in which a detailed poster for the film is the focus of attention. There's one iconoclastic alteration in the painting: Carole Lombard has been given a black eye. ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide
