Review

Machine-translated from Danish.

I Love Trouble is a romantic crime comedy that follows the recipe of the original screwball comedies. Sabrina Peterson and Peter Brackett are star reporters for the two biggest newspapers in Chicago. They catch the scent of the same good story, a sabotaged train, and take turns outdoing each other with sensational revelations about the accident. The case turns out to be more tangled than either of them had imagined, however, so suddenly the inquisitive journalists are in mortal danger. Peter and Sabrina agree to become partners in investigating the case so that they can get to the bottom of it and come out of it alive, but neither of them has forgotten that they are in fact competitors. At the same time they fight like cat and dog, but of course things don't stay that way.

There is no shortage of suspense or comedy in I Love Trouble, but the thriller plot goes on and on forever and becomes increasingly silly. Successful chemistry between Roberts and Nolte.
