The Academy Award Theater - The White Cliffs Of Dover (09-18-46)

The White Cliffs Of Dover (Aired September 18, 1946)


INTRO: Bob Plays The Platters "The Magic Touch" (1957)

The list of films and actors on Academy Award Theater is very impressive. Bette Davis begins the series in Jezebel, with Ginger Rogers following in Kitty Foyle, and then Paul Muni in The Life of Louis Pasteur. The Informer had to have Victor Mclaglen, and the Maltese Falcon, Humphrey Bogart, Sidney Greenstreet (this movie was his first major motion picutre role) plus Mary Astor for the hat trick. Suspicion starred Cary Grant with Ann Todd doing the Joan Fontaine role, Ronald Coleman in Lost Horizon, and Joan Fontaine and John Lund were in Portrait of Jenny. How Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs and Pinocchio were done is something to hear!

THIS EPISODE:

September 18, 1946. CBS network. "The White Cliffs Of Dover". Sponsored by: Squibb. An American woman marries an English peer during the first World War in Britain. Irene Dunne, C. Aubrey Smith.  29:25
