Bette Davis and Leslie Howard are perfectly matched as wise-cracking, vanity-ridden actors Joyce Arden and Basil Underwood in It's Love I'm After, Warner Brothers' venture into sophisticated romantic comedy. Although their acting roles include Shakespeare's two great lovers, Romeo and Juliet, Arden and Underwood's own romance has yet to reach such lofty heights. Instead, their bickering on-stage, and off, more resembles something from The Taming of the Shrew. Their on-again, off-again engagement is decidedly off after Marcia West (Olivia de Havilland) falls for Underwood. West's fiancé (Patric Knowles) persuades Underwood to be his weekend guest and “act” an utter boor in hopes of disillusioning the star-struck West. However, Underwood can't resist his fan's adulation, and he slips in and out of his boorish part--with Arden as his amused, and then not-so-amused audience. Not to be missed is Eric Blore as Underwood's irrepressible valet, trying to out-birdcall the birds in one more confusion between reality and performance in this delightful, witty film.
