“I never laugh until I’ve had my coffee”
“I never laugh until I’ve had my coffee” is a saying that has been printed on many images. The saying is from the movie No Man of Her Own (1932), where the character “Babe” Stewart (played by Clark Gable) said this to Connie Randall (played by Carole Lombard).
Babe Stewart (Clark Gable) said:
“Darling, don’t be funny so early in the morning. I never laugh until I’ve had my coffee!”
Wikipedia: No Man of Her Own (1932 film)
No Man of Her Own is a 1932 American pre-Code romantic drama starring Clark Gable and Carole Lombard as a married couple in their only film together, several years before their own legendary marriage in real life. The movie was directed by Wesley Ruggles, and originated as an adaptation of No Bed of Her Own, a 1931 novel by Val Lewton, but ended up based more on a story by Benjamin Glazer and Edmund Goulding, although it retained the title it got from Lewton’s novel. It is not related to the 1950 film of the same name.
Released just three years after the stock market crash of 1929, the plot focuses on the character “Babe” Stewart (played by Gable), a card sharp and gambling cheat, and “Connie Randall”, a street-wise librarian with whom he develops a relationship. Prevalent themes throughout the story include crime, gambling, dishonesty, love, commitment and redemption.
