Bold
Venture:
Bold Venture was a
syndicated radio series starring Humphrey Bogart and
Lauren Bacall that aired from 1951 to 1952. Morton Fine
and David Friedkin scripted the taped series for
Bogart's Santana Productions.
Salty seadog Slate Shannon (Bogart) owns a Cuban hotel,
Shannon's Place, sheltering an assortment of treasure
hunters, revolutionaries and other shady characters.
With his sidekick and ward, the sultry Sailor Duval
(Bacall), tagging along, he encounters modern-day
pirates and other tough situations while navigating the
waters around Havana. Aboard his boat, the Bold Venture,
Slate and Sailor experience "adventure, intrigue,
mystery and romance in the sultry settings of tropical
Havana and the mysterious islands of the Caribbean."
Calypso singer King Moses (Jester Hairston) provided
musical bridges by threading plot situations into the
lyrics of his songs.[2] Music for the series was by
David Rose.[3]
The series combined elements of a number of past
Bogart/Bacall film collaborations, most notably To Have
and Have Not which also cast Bogart as a boat owner in
the Caribbean who reluctantly becomes involved in
intrigue while romancing Bacall. The relationship
between Shannon and King Moses, and his ownership of an
inn, is strongly reminiscent of the dynamic between Rick
Blaine and Sam in Casablanca.
21st
Precinct:
21st Precinct (aka
Twenty-First Precinct and Twenty First Precinct) was a
police drama broadcast on CBS radio from July 7, 1953,
to July 26, 1956. It was initially a summer replacement
for My Friend Irma.
The program was produced in cooperation with the
Patrolmen's Benevolent Association of the City of New
York and presented "adaptations from true criminal
records in New York, slanted from the policeman's point
of view."
Stanley Niss was the producer writer-director. The role
of precinct Captain Frank Kennelly was played by Everett
Sloane (for the first 109 episodes and briefly in
episode 135), James Gregory (1955–56) and Les Damon
(1956). In some episodes, during Gregory's time on the
show, the commander was known as Capt. Cronin.
Other cast regulars were Ken Lynch (as Lt. Matt King),
Harold Stone (as Sgt. Waters), Jack Orissa (as Sgt.
Collins), and Santos Ortega (as Lt. Gorman).
The program's announcer began the program's opening each
week:
21st Precinct. It's just lines on a map of the city of
New York. Most of the 173,000 people wedged into the
nine-tenths of a square mile between Fifth Avenue and
the East River wouldn't know, if you asked them, that
they lived or worked in the 21st. Whether they know it
or not, the security of their persons, their homes, and
their property is the job of the men of the 21st.
At that point the lead actor would complete the
introduction:
The 21st Precinct. 160 patrolmen, 11 sergeants and four
lieutenants of whom I'm the boss. My name is Kennelly.
Frank Kennelly. I'm Captain in command of the 21st.
Art Hanna, Bob Hill, and Hugh Holder were the program's
announcers. The series was produced by John Ives; it was
usually directed and written by Stanley Niss. (Another
source lists Niss as producer.)
