Dangerously Yours 13 Episodes
Dangerously Yours was a short-lived but elegant and atmospheric radio drama anthology that brought to life classic tales of romance, intrigue, and swashbuckling adventure. Airing during the summer of 1944, the series was introduced as a dramatic showcase for actor Victor Jory, whose rich voice and commanding presence anchored each episode. Each story was presented as a personal reminiscence by Jory’s character — often a romantic or daring figure — lending the show a unique narrative intimacy and charm.
Though brief in its original run, Dangerously Yours stood out for its lush production, literary sensibility, and high-caliber performances, combining classic storytelling with the star power of its leading man.
The Stars
Victor Jory starred in every episode, taking on the role of a different historical, literary, or romantic hero each week. Whether portraying Edmond Dantès (The Count of Monte Cristo), Don Juan, Cyrano de Bergerac, or other legendary figures, Jory infused each performance with emotional intensity and theatrical flair.
His delivery was both dramatic and poetic, and his recurring narration — often beginning with the iconic phrase, “This is Victor Jory, in Dangerously Yours” — set the stage for an immersive half-hour of high-stakes drama.
Key Dates
• Dangerously Yours premiered on CBS Radio on July 2, 1944.
• It aired weekly on Sundays and concluded its run after 14 episodes, ending on September 24, 1944.
• The series was later revived in expanded form under the title Matinee Theater (1945–1946), continuing the anthology format with Jory as host and star.
Other Information
Each episode of Dangerously Yours adapted a famous literary or historical story, emphasizing themes of love, revenge, heroism, and sacrifice. The show’s scripts were tailored to fit a 30-minute runtime but retained the spirit and style of the original works. Adaptations included titles like The Scarlet Pimpernel, The Prisoner of Zenda, and Captain Blood, giving listeners a taste of classic adventure and romance.
Production values were high, with rich sound effects, period-appropriate music, and carefully written narration. The show’s mood was often heightened by dramatic flourishes and the romantic, sometimes tragic tone of the source material. It was an ideal fit for audiences who craved literary drama during wartime.
Though overshadowed by longer-running programs, Dangerously Yours earned praise for its refinement and theatrical quality. It offered a rare mix of classic literature and radio drama, distinguished by Victor Jory’s compelling presence and its commitment to cultural storytelling.
Today, Dangerously Yours is remembered as a sophisticated and evocative entry in the world of radio anthologies — a brief but memorable series that brought timeless tales of passion and peril to life for a wartime audience seeking both escape and inspiration.
