The Affairs of Anatole | The Mercury Theatre on the Air, 1938

Originally a play in 1910, written by Arthur Schnitzler (b. May 1863 - d. October 1931). Then a silent movie in 1921, directed by Cecil B. DeMille. This episode aired Monday, August 22, 1938 on CBS Radio.

Story: Before the World War in Vienna, socialite Anatol Spencer, finding his relationship with his wife Vivian lackluster, goes in search of excitement. With his friend Max, Anatol discusses the problem that a man never can know for sure whether or not a woman is faithful to him. He argues that, irrespective of love, women by their very nature can never be true.

Adapted by, Directed by, and Starring: Orson Welles. Remaining cast: William Alland, Ray Collins, Arlene Francise, Alice Frost, Helen Lewise, Dan Seymour (announcer), Bernard Herrmann (conductor)
