Breakfast for Two
SHE GOT HER MAN WITH A SOCK IN THE EYE!
A bright, energetic romantic comedy built on the clash between a determined Texan woman and a dissolute playboy, resolved through charm and persistence rather than depth.
After a night on the town, Jonathan Blair wakes to find that Texan Valentine Ransome has escorted him home. Valentine is attracted to Jonathan and sets out first to reform him, and his family's near-bankrupt shipping company, and then to marry him. In her way is Jonathan's fiancée, actress Carol Wallace.
