Movie Info

Despite constant bickering on and off stage, Shakespearean actors Basil Underwood (Leslie Howard) and Joyce Arden (Bette Davis) intend to marry after their closing performance in "Romeo and Juliet." But following the show, debutante Marcia West (Olivia de Havilland), smitten by Basil's interpretation of Romeo, visits backstage to declare him the perfect man for her. Basil is initially flattered by her attentions, which enrages Joyce -- until they both find Marcia more than they can handle.

Critic Reviews for It's Love I'm After

All Critics (3) | Fresh (3)

A different Leslie Howard and a quite different Bette Davis in a larking farce about an actor's loves.

Meyer Levin (Patterson Murphy)
Esquire Magazine
The earlier sequences of It's Love I'm After are funny and bright, but the story material, never very substantial, is spun out a trifle thin before the end.

Ann Ross
Maclean's Magazine
A zany film with lots of great witty one-liners and insults. Come for Leslie Howard, Bette Davis and Olivia de Havilland and stay for Eric Blore.
