AbstractHistoryArchive Description

'It concerns an unfortunate Russian woman who married an American soldier, and as a penalty for this breach of Soviet etiquette, spent eight years in a forced labour camp. Prematurely aged she comes to London, where her cause us ardently espoused by a newspaper whose hard-bitten girl reporter and flinty editor (Blunt by name) track down the husband to a United States Air Force base. In vain. He has remarried and refuses point blank even to meet his first wife again; there is nothing for the unhappy woman to do but to press Blunt's hand in silent gratitude and embark for Russia.'

      Anthology drama series made for the BBC between 1950 and 1959.

      The episodes suffered badly during the BBC's purge of its archives in the 1970s, and little of the original series remains.

      In addition, for the first three years (March 1950 - February 1953), the show was aired live, and so no recordings from those years were ever made.
