Breakfast for Two is a romantic comedy from 1937 which starred Barbara Stanwyck, Herbert Marshall, and Glenda Farrell. The film was directed by Alfred Santell and produced by Edward Small. The story revolves around Larry Blair (Herbert Marshall), a wealthy but spoiled playboy who has a habit of romancing women and then dumping them without any concern for their feelings. His latest conquest is Kay Colby (Barbara Stanwyck), a successful businesswoman who is equally sharp and witty. Larry is initially attracted to Kay because of her wealth and status, but as their relationship progresses, he finds himself falling in love with her.

However, their romance is complicated by a number of factors. Kay's business is in trouble and she fears that she may lose everything she has worked for, while Larry's father is furious with him for not taking his responsibilities seriously. Meanwhile, Larry's ex-girlfriend Sheila (Glenda Farrell) is still in love with him and determined to win him back.

What follows is a humorous and lighthearted story of love, misunderstandings, and reconciliations. Through the ups and downs of their relationship, Larry and Kay learn to see each other in a different light, and ultimately discover what true love really means.

Barbara Stanwyck delivers an excellent performance as Kay Colby, a strong-willed and independent woman who is not afraid to speak her mind. She gives the character a sense of vulnerability that makes her all the more endearing. Herbert Marshall is equally impressive as Larry Blair, the charming but irresponsible playboy who undergoes a transformation throughout the course of the film. Glenda Farrell also shines as Sheila, Larry's ex-girlfriend who is more than just a one-dimensional antagonist.

The film is visually stunning, with beautiful sets and costumes that capture the elegance and sophistication of the 1930s. The sharp and witty dialogue keeps the audience engaged throughout, while the comedic timing of the actors is spot-on.

Overall, Breakfast for Two is a delightful rom-com that is perfect for a lazy evening in. The film's strong cast and charming storyline make it a must-watch for fans of classic Hollywood cinema.
