☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join free# Movie Love #1 This anthology issue contains two complete movie adaptations. "Mrs. Mike," featuring Dick Powell and Evelyn Keyes, follows a couple's arduous journey through the Canadian wilderness after traveling 327 miles by dogsled, only for Kathy to discover their child has died from an epidemic while Mike was away on a mission. The second story, "The Big Wheel," starring Mickey Rooney, depicts a young man's ambition in the racing world, culminating in a tragic accident during a race that results in a death, though the circumstances remain unclear as an investigation determines whether it was truly an accident or something more sinister.
A young woman newly arrived from Boston meets Sgt. Mike Flannigan, a Mountie stationed in the Canadian wilderness, and the two quickly discover they're drawn to each other—though her uncle John has reservations about Mike's posting to the remote outpost of Hendriks Hope. As Katherine Mary O'Fallon settles into frontier life and fends off seven other suitors, Mike must find a way to convince both her and her protective uncle that their love can survive the harsh isolation of the north country.
Jerry Colonna, the Capitol Records recording star and radio comedian, sits down with a Movie Love reporter backstage at the Roxy Theatre to share his unlikely journey from a tone-deaf schoolboy to a working musician. Through a series of mishaps—from his accidental soprano career to a disastrous Bermuda engagement with the Six Jacks that nearly ended in disaster—Colonna recounts how he eventually crossed paths with Bob Hope at a Hollywood party and launched into a new chapter of entertainment. It's a rollicking behind-the-scenes look at how a naturally funny performer found his way to stardom, one pratfall and punchline at a time.
Billy Coy, the son of a legendary Indianapolis driver, struggles to follow in his father's footsteps after a tragic accident on the track leaves him branded as a killer and blacklisted by every racing team in California. Desperate for redemption, he heads east to Indianapolis with hopes of proving himself—but first he'll have to overcome mechanical sabotage, self-doubt, and the weight of his family's legacy. Red Stanley, an old friend of his father's, may be his only shot at getting behind the wheel of number six in the most important race of his life.
