What happens
Chris Tyler and Sicily, a young couple in New York in 1934, must part when Sicily returns to college, and they argue over whether they can afford to marry. Chris later takes a foreign correspondent post in Europe, and their lives drift apart over the years. The Screen Guild Theater broadcast of Next Time We Love, from March 19, 1945, stars Robert Cummings and Joan Fontaine in the lead roles. The story follows their relationship through separations, career decisions and strained reunions as the pair try to find out what they mean to each other.

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.
