Here is what the article in Life Magazine said about 'Love': "Leslie Howard's career as a comedian, which got off to a good start in 'Stand-In' (LIFE, Nov.1) advances famously in 'It's Love I'm After.' This Warner Bros. farce opens with the death scene of 'Romeo and Juliet.' Mr. Howard, who played the scene straight with Norma Shearer only a year ago, this time expertly burlesques it with Bette Davis, carrying on a private feud between the lines and biting his Juliet's ear when she leans over to kiss him. 'It's Love I'm After,' as these pictures indicate, contains a lot of loving. The most violent of it is done by Olivia de Havilland, a young heiress who becomes infatuated with Mr. Howard, the great actor. For the sake of her distraught fiancé, Actor Howard goes to her home, resolved to cure her infatuation by proving himself a cad. His efforts fail but their gaiety has been ensured by Screenwriter Casey Robinson, who contributes some of the season's funniest lines."
This much should wet your appetite for this hilarious movie. Patric Knowles and Eric Blore add to the insanity. A much looked over and neglected movie. If you love Howard and want to see him at his comical best, I highly recommend this long-lost classic to the genre of screwball comedy.
