The tops in topsy-turvy romance!

Bette Davis and Leslie Howard made quite an impression as co-stars in two standout classics of the 1930s: "Of Human Bondage" (1934) and The Petrified Forest (1936) showcased their impressive dramatic talents. For their third (and final) film together, serious drama takes a back seat to zany comedy packed with generous wit in "It's Love I'm After". Star-struck Marsha West (Olivia de Havilland) could care less that famed thespian Basil Underwood (Leslie Howard) is vain and discourteous while staying at her family 's mansion. "What are manners? She exclaims. "Little rules for little people." What she doesn't know is that Basil is acting, playing the cad - so that Marsha will turn her attention to her devoted Henry (Patric Knowles). And as for fiery actress Joyce Arden (Bette Davis) who is Basil's on again-off again fiancé? She might have an unexpected role to play in this loopy charade! Highlights of the screwball skewering of romance and stagecraft include the whispered asides – bitter as an apothecary's poison – during Howard and Davis playing of the Romeo and Juliet death scene, Curtain up!
