Paul Henreid

We also have a luxe radio theater performance with Betty Davis, and Claude Rains is not playing her leading man.

Paul Henry, her co-star from Now Voyager and Deception, is playing her leading man.

So it's wonderful to have the two of them together for that radio performance.

And I think people will enjoy that.

So I'm excited as well.

The film was directed by Michael Curtiz, adapted from the play by Philip and Julius Epstein of no relation, and Howard Koch, also no relation to the Koch brothers, and stars Humphrey Bogart, Ingrid Bergman, Claude Rains, Paul Henreid, Dooley Wilson, Conrad Vett, Sidney Greenstreet, and Peter Lorre.

From Lux Radio Theater, this is Mr. Skeffington, broadcast on CBS October 1st, 1945, episode 495.

Bette Davis returns to the role of Fanny Trellis Skeffington from the 1944 Warner Brothers film, joined by Paul Henreid as Job Skeffington.

Adapted from the film and Elizabeth von Arnim's novel, the story follows their lives through changing years in New York society.

And now, our story begins.

Yeah.

So, uh, originally Paul Henreid was meant to star rather than Robert Alda, which might have been a little better.

I found, I found both of the main stars of this movie...

Again, Peter Lorre is not really the main star, but Robert Alda and Andrea King, who plays the, the nurse to the pianist who dies, and they're in love, they're the really the main characters.

They're boring as hell.

Tell me about, uh, the Peter, uh, that guy.

[laughs] Paul, Paul, Paul Henreid? Um, I mean, he's just a, a, a bit more of a, an interesting actor.

I think I've seen him probably in movies with Bette Davis, um, who, uh, you know, I obviously am, you know, and am, am a big fan of.
