A KISS IS A KISS IS A KISS: An Unbroken Circle of Love—Hollywood Style

Eighty-eight movie stars who kissed and loved in one romantic role and then did it all over again in the next take center stage in this clever little book, which features movie stills culled from the Kobal Collection's vault. The first photo catches Monroe gazing longingly at Tony Curtis, the next features Curtis cuddling Natalie Wood, the third finds Wood and Robert Wagner lounging together and so on until the final shot of Robert Mitchum embracing Monroe. The only text, aside from the actors' names, are fun hints about the movie names, and browsers may find themselves spending more minutes than they intended playing this coy guessing game. (Feb.)
