"The Way He Dresses!" offers a lighthearted guide to romance through the lens of how a man presents himself—from the loud dresser who draws unwanted attention, to the overly casual type, the eccentric beatnik, and the stiffly formal bore. A young woman learns that finding the right match means looking past surface styles to discover someone genuinely suited to her. Sometimes the best match comes when you're not even looking for it.

In "Iron Curtain Romance!", a dedicated Communist bureaucrat and wartime orphan named Sonia is sent to infiltrate the circle of an American diplomat, Bob, under the guise of friendship.

When their paths cross again at a Geneva conference, Sonia must decide where her heart—and future—truly lie.

Celia Ferris, a sharp-minded salesgirl at Burns Department Store, catches the eye of Randolph Burns—the store's insufferable owner who believes women exist solely to serve their husbands without thought or opinion.

When a young woman brings her boyfriend home to meet the family, she quickly discovers that relatives can make or break a budding romance—from a pessimistic maiden aunt and a practical-joking uncle to a demanding younger brother, each one threatens to derail the relationship. Fortunately, her understanding parents know exactly how to smooth things over and give the couple a real chance to connect. It's a clever look at how family dynamics can either help or sabotage matters of the heart.
