...times on the screen. The latest version, "Love Is News" moves along so briskly, however, and is packed with so many amusing episodes that the frailty of the plot can well be overlooked. It is obviously not a film for the intelligentsia, for the comedy at best is somewhat rough and often slapstick, but the enthusiasm of Tyrone Power, Jr., Don Ameche and Loretta Young make it a film well worth seeing...
