Bold Venture brings you adventure, intrigue, mystery and romance starring Humphrey Bogart and Lauren Bacall together in the sultry setting of Havana and the mysterious islands of the Caribbean.
Slate Shannon played by Bogart is the owner and proprietor of a dubious Havana hotel and a boat called "The Bold Venture”, and Bacall is Sailor Duval, his sultry, wisecracking woman. Jester Hairston plays the calypso-singer named King Moses, whose intermittent songs incorporate the story as it unfolds. Shannon's hotel attracts friends and enemies to its nautical watering hole, and Shannon is always ready to do what it takes to rescue a friend or seek out the enemy.
