Love Is News is a classic romantic comedy from 1937 that follows the story of a newspaper reporter, Steve Leyton (Tyrone Power), who is trying to make a name for himself as a journalist. He has a reputation for being a ladies' man and is not above exaggerating the truth for the sake of a good story. However, his life takes a turn when he writes a false story about socialite Tony Gateson (Don Ameche) being engaged to a dancer.

Tony's fiancée, the beautiful and wealthy heiress, Janet (Loretta Young), is furious about the story and seeks revenge by pretending to fall for Steve, hoping to expose him as a fraud. However, as she begins to spend more time with Steve, she realizes that he is not the heartless cad she thought he was. Steve, too, begins to develop feelings for Janet, and the two find themselves caught between their growing love for each other and their own personal ambitions.

As Steve and Janet's relationship blossoms, they are continually sabotaged by Tony, who is jealous of the attention his fiancée is giving to the journalist. Meanwhile, Steve's boss at the newspaper is not happy with the direction his stories are taking, and Steve finds himself being fired from his job. However, with Janet's help and support, Steve is able to turn his career around and finally find his true calling as a journalist.

Throughout Love Is News, there are plenty of comedic moments as well as tender and romantic scenes between Steve and Janet. The chemistry between Tyrone Power and Loretta Young is palpable and has helped solidify the movie's place as a classic in the romantic comedy genre. Directed by Tay Garnett, the film captures the spirit of the 1930s with its glamorous settings and witty banter.

In addition to the strong performances by Power and Young, Don Ameche's portrayal of the jealous Tony adds another layer of complexity to the story. His character's struggle with his own insecurities and his obsession with Janet's wealth and status is both amusing and poignant.

Overall, Love Is News is a charming and entertaining movie that showcases the talents of its cast and crew. It tells a story about love, ambition, and journalistic integrity, all while transporting audiences back to a bygone era of Hollywood glamour and romance.
