Bold Venture
Russian Roulette
by
Bold Venture is an adventure series set in Havana, where American adventurer Slate Shannon and his partner, Sailor Duval, operate a hotel and become entangled in dangerous situations. Shannon is played by Humphrey Bogart, with Lauren Bacall as Sailor, bringing the pair’s sharp, confident chemistry to the center of the show.
The program blends crime, intrigue, and action, following Shannon and Sailor through encounters with smugglers, criminals, and other troublemakers. Their hotel provides a lively base for the stories, while the surrounding city offers a setting for suspense and adventure.
Bogart and Bacall’s performances give the series its distinctive appeal: tough, wry, and playful, with the two leads trading banter as readily as they face danger. The result is a compact radio adventure shaped by its charismatic stars and its atmospheric Havana setting.
