Audience Reviews for Love Is News

Capra's It Happened One Night might've got the everyman reporter chasing the rich heiress trope going but it was by no means a done deal. In this version Tyrone Power is the reporter, Loretta Young the Kardashian. It's kind've a fun romp too.

Although it's predictable and silly, I enjoyed this movie. It has some really funny scenes and good actors.

Love is News is a charming and breezy little comedy with Ty and Loretta competing for who is the most beautiful. They play off each other very well and are supported by a top notch cast with Don Ameche and George Sanders standing out.
