What happens

Dr. Michelle Tuzak, a Connecticut research scientist, leaves his daughter Suzette and his housekeeper Miss Tucker to attend a medical convention in Chicago. There he meets Florence, a pianist with a troubled past, and their connection draws him into a tangled history. Lux Radio Theatre presented this adaptation of Luigi Pirandello's play This Love of Ours, starring Rita Hayworth and Charles Corbin, on February 4, 1946. The story follows Michelle's marriage, his jealousy, and the long shadow his past casts over his family.

Written from the episode itself; it never gives away the ending. Every recording is remastered for the stream: cleaned of rumble, hiss and mains hum (and the old TV whine where we found it), then levelled in two passes to steady broadcast loudness, so one show is never quieter than the next.
