I enjoyed both versions of this movie. Tyrone Power has wonderful on screen chemistry with both Gene Tierney and Loretta Young. LOVE IS NEWS is a great old style film that they just don't make any more. Sometimes, the plot is hard to believe, but still very enjoyable.

Dawn, I haven't seen any of these two films even though I am a fan of both Loretta Young and Tyrone Power. It sounds like a lot of fun.
