It's Love I'm After 1937 DVD - Leslie Howard / Bette Davis

Renowned stage actors Basil Underwood and Joyce Arden are both partners on and off the stage. An occupational hazard for Basil is that women often fall in love with the version of him they see onstage, and he sometimes indulges their adoration. Basil and Joyce share a passionate, tempestuous personal life, marked by constant fighting and making up, a dynamic that frequently spills over into their stage performances. After their latest quarrel and reconciliation, they decide to get married—again—for the twelfth time, determined to reach the altar this time. Before proceeding, Basil feels he must repay a personal debt by helping a stranger, Henry Grant, whose fiancée has fallen for Basil. Determined to solve the problem, Basil sets out to make Henry's fiancée fall out of love with him by pretending to be a cad. However, this proves more complicated when he discovers the woman in question is Marcia West, a young admirer who had already confessed her feelings to him earlier. As Basil debates his next move at the West mansion, his faithful dresser Digges suggests that perhaps there is a missing female role in this drama—one that Joyce could perfectly fill. Joyce soon arrives, blurring the line between acting and reality even further.
