Bette Davis and Leslie Howard may have livened up the screen in their various screen triumphs, but this is certainly not one of them. In fact, "It's Love I'm After" is quite boring at times and you will wish that Davis and Howard can finally embrace each other in love so that this boring film will finally climax. A little over 90 minutes of this farce was just about too much for me.
What a great name for Howard in this production-Basil Underwood. It should have been more like Underweather for making such a film.
These 2 thespians play just that, but while they're in love, they are constantly bickering only to have Basil meet fan Olivia De Havilland, who is quite smitten with him.
As her fiancé, Patric Knowles pays off Underwood to be a cad. The rest of the film is showing DeHavilland going off with one moment of love for the Howard character, and the next moment it's the opposite.
Love may conquer all, but certainly not this movie. By the way, as an aunt, Spring Byington's hair looked more like Little Orphan Annie and fellow co-star Bonita Granville, with that screeching laugh and annoyance, both do little to enhance this production.
Eric Blore has some real steal-seeing scenes as the wily butler. However, the picture flops due to the writing.
