Movie #1963 "It's Love I'm After" (DVD) I watched this most enjoyable old film because Michael Phillips in his tribute to Olivia De Havilland when she died a couple of weeks ago mentioned it was his favorite, and I didn't recognize the title. But I noticed it also had Bette Davis and Leslie Howard (two other favorites of mine). It was fast paced and fun. And it was deeply imbedded with jokes on theatre, acting, shakespeare and other playwrights and shows. I loved it. The plot is quite involved , and it keeps the audience on its toes, going back and forth on who loves whom. It gets away with it because the actor is asked to come over to his biggest fan's house to be such a fad that she will fall out of love for him --- see? involved. What makes it moreso is that he starts to think he is falling in love with her! But Bette Davis is the one he is supposed to get married to ---- Confusing and crazy but one of the best screwball comedies I have ever watched. I give it 4.5 out of 5. In order to see it, I had to send to amazon for it so I can't tell you how you can see it --- short of borrowing it from me, which is fine; just let me know.
"IT'S LOVE I'M AFTER" 1937 1 hour and 30 mins comedy 4.5 out of 5
