      Jack S Young and Power are both charming and also impossibly attractive, however let's face it, they're just not particularly funny. Most all the laughs arise rather from Ameche (who would frankly have been better choice for the lead) and also Catlett who are both typically strong here—This otherwise ordinary romantic comedy would have benefited greatly from more screen time for each of them. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 02/11/24 Full Review Tom M Young at her best and most beautiful. Power and Ameche are very good in early roles. Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 02/10/21 Full Review Audience Member Delightful 20th-Century-Fox comedy aided by the presence of the three stars. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 02/27/23 Full Review Maria C derivative comedy with gorgeous Tyrone and Loretta at their best. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 12/30/18 Full Review kevin w Capra's It Happened One Night might've got the everyman reporter chasing the rich heiress trope going but it was by no means a done deal. In this version Tyrone Power is the reporter, Loretta Young the Kardashian. It's kind've a fun romp too. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 03/30/23 Full Review Audience Member How would you like to be mobbed by peeping toms? A crafty newspaper reporter uses some slick maneuvers to get a story on a rich heiress. She turns the tables on the reporter when she announcers their engagement. How will the reporter handle the strange announcement and what is really behind the heiress' claim? "Where are you going?" "I'm going to eat crow." "It will do you good." Tay Garnett, director of The Postman Always Rings Twice, Bataan, Four Star Playhouse, One Way Passage, The Delta Factor, and Eternally Yours, delivers Love is News. The storyline for this picture is fun in a Roman Holiday kind of way. The script is pretty good and the characters are well delivered. The cast delivers solid performances and includes Tyrone Power, Loretta Young, Don Ameche, and Jane Darwell. "Maybe I'll take you off the front page and put you in the comics section where you belong." I DVR'd this picture off Turner Classic Movies (TCM) during a Tyrone Power marathon. I found this movie very entertaining and "fun." This wasn't one of Power's better films, but it was surely entertaining. I recommend seeing this film once but wouldn't add it to my classic film DVD collection. "I'd like to stick it in your eye." Grade: B- Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 01/19/23 Full Review Read all reviews Post a rating
