Academy Award Theater presents “Hold Back the Dawn,” episode 19, originally broadcast on July 31, 1946. This CBS adaptation of the 1941 Paramount romantic drama stars Olivia de Havilland and Jean-Pierre Aumont.
Stranded in a Mexican border town by U.S. immigration quotas, a European émigré sees marriage to an American schoolteacher as a possible path across the border. Adapted for radio by Frank Wilson from Ketti Frings’s story, the drama explores waiting, uncertain motives, and unexpected emotional stakes.
Old Time Radio Classics presents the original broadcast with a newly produced contextual introduction, a short closing announcement, and gently cleaned and mastered audio for a more consistent listening experience.
