What happens
In Paris in 1937, Sarah Farrington and her new husband Michael meet Captain Alan Harkett, an old acquaintance, who wants to speak privately with Michael. Sarah and Michael are planning a carefree honeymoon, and Harkett's urgent request to travel to London by boat puts a strain on their plans. The Screen Guild Theater broadcast of October 15, 1939 presents this drama, starring Joan Crawford, Ronald Coleman, Lou Ayres and Montagu Love. The transcript covers only the first part of the play, which the program's host introduces as written by Leonard Spiegelgass.

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.
