Bold Venture was a captivating and thrilling radio series starring the renowned Humphrey Bogart who played the part of Slate Shannon, a hotel owner with a boat called the "Bold Venture." Set in Havana, Cuba, the show followed Slate's adventures as he rescued friends in need, hunted down his enemies, and navigated through modern-day pirates and other tough situations. The sultry Sailor Duval, played by Lauren Bacall, accompanied him in their ventures. Their escapades were accompanied by calypso singer King Moses, played by Jester Hairson, who supplied musical narrative with scripts written by Morton Fine and David Friedkin.

The transcribed syndication ran from 1951 to 1952, premiering on March 26, 1951, and was produced by Ziv Corporation. There were 78 thirty-minute episodes, with 57 of them still known to exist today. The show was later adapted into a television series in 1959, which changed the setting to Trinidad and starred Dane Clark as Slate Shannon, Joan Marshall as Sailor Duval, and Bernie Gozier as King Moses.

Performers: Humphrey Bogart, Lauren Bacall, Jester Hairston
