Pictorial Love Stories #22
☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeA warm sunset of orange and gold sets the mood for this 1949 Charlton romance gem, as a dark-haired young woman in a striped top gazes up at a smiling young man leaning tenderly close — two faces nearly touching, full of quiet electricity. Henry C. Kiefer's cover art captures that breathless, close-as-a-whisper moment with real painterly charm. Inside, the story "Clinging Vine" promises the kind of heartfelt romance that made Pictorial Love Stories a genuine ten-cent pleasure.

Advice columnist Catharine pays a visit to nursing student Betty, who had written her a letter. Betty’s longtime boyfriend Jim married her friend Joan while she was away at nursing school. Dr. Crown asks her to be his lab assistant and they fall in love, but Betty overhears him telling another doctor that this was part of an experiment. She decides to leave school. Catharine is driving her to town when they see a train wreck. Betty pitches in and afterwards reconciles with Dr. Crown, who—thanks to Catharine’s intervention—explains that he really is in love with Betty.
