This week on “Picture Perfect,” we bestow a great big red heart, heavy with lovingly refined sugar, in the form of music from beloved screen romances.

On the program will be selections from “Casablanca,” by Max Steiner, “Doctor Zhivago” by Maurice Jarre, and “Wuthering Heights,” by Alfred Newman.

John Barry, who wrote many lovely scores for lovers (aside from the music to a good many of the James Bond movies), will be represented by “Somewhere in Time,” a Christopher Reeve-Jane Seymour time travel romance that is lambasted in some circles and remembered with affection in others. I don’t know that I’ve ever seen the whole thing, in its infinite 1980s showings on HBO, but I am willing to give it the benefit of the doubt, since it was written by prolific “Twilight Zone” scribe Richard Matheson (who also wrote “The Incredible Shrinking Man,” “I am Legend,” and “Hell House”). Remember when William Shatner discovered a gremlin on the wing of his plane? Matheson wrote that. ‘Nuff said.

I hope you’ll join me for a little Friday the 13th romance, on “Picture Perfect” – music for the movies – this Friday evening at 6, with a repeat Saturday morning at 6; or that you’ll listen to it later as a webcast, at http://www.wwfm.org.
