Bold Venture 57 Episodes
Bold Venture is a sophisticated adventure-mystery radio drama set against the steamy, intrigue-filled backdrop of postwar Havana, Cuba. The series blends hard-boiled mystery, international intrigue, romance, and danger, following the exploits of an American expatriate hotel owner who continually finds himself entangled in smuggling rings, political plots, and murder investigations. With its exotic setting, sharp dialogue, and cinematic storytelling, Bold Venture stands out as one of radio’s most stylish and atmospheric adventure series of the early 1950s.
The Stars
The series starred Hollywood legends Humphrey Bogart as Slate Shannon, the tough, world-weary owner of the Havana hotel that serves as the hub of the show’s action. Appearing alongside him was Lauren Bacall, playing Sailor Duval, a sharp-witted and resourceful woman whose charm and intelligence often prove just as important as a gun when trouble arises.
After Bogart’s death, the role of Slate Shannon was taken over by actor Gerald Mohr, while Bacall continued in her role, maintaining the show’s chemistry and appeal.

Other Information
Bold Venture was notable for being one of the few radio series to feature a real-life Hollywood power couple as its leads, lending the program an unmistakable cinematic polish. The show’s Havana setting allowed for storylines involving international crime, espionage, stolen jewels, and political unrest, all delivered with fast pacing and a noir-style edge.
With its combination of exotic locales, glamorous leads, and tense storytelling, Bold Venture remains a favorite among Old-Time Radio fans who enjoy sophisticated adventure drama with a strong sense of place and atmosphere.
