Bold Venture was a syndicated radio adventure series starring Humphrey Bogart and Lauren Bacall that aired from 1951 to 1952. Its premise revolved around hotel and boat owner Slate Shannon, played by Bogart, and his ward, Sailor Duval, played by Bacall. Set in the sultry setting of Havana, Cuba, this duo frequently found themselves entangled in adventure, intrigue, and mystery while navigating the Caribbean waters.

Combining elements from Bogart and Bacall's past on-screen collaborations, the show had music by David Rose and scripts by Morton Fine and David Friedkin. Calypso singer King Moses (Jester Hairston) provided musical bridges by threading plot situations into the lyrics of his songs. A total of 57 episodes are now known to exist out of the original 78 episodes produced.

Bold Venture was later brought to television in 1959, produced by Morton Fine and David Friedkin, with a change of setting from Cuba to Trinidad due to unstable conditions in Cuba. The series starred Dane Clark as Slate Shannon, Joan Marshall as Sailor Duval, and Bernie Gozier as King Moses.
