The Marriage

Show Information based on John Dunning's book "On The Air"

Drama (1953-1954).

The Marriage was a light affair, distinguished mainly as a vehicle for stage notables Hume Cronyn and Jessica Tandy. Cronyn's character, Ben Marriott, was a New York lawyer. His wife, Liz, had formerly been a buyer in a New York department store. Often plots revolved around her attempt to adjust to life as "just a housewife," or focused on problems with their children, Pete and Emily. The Marriotts were urbane sophisticates, interested in theater, art, literature, and philosophy. They alternated viewpoints, Cronyn narrating one week, Tandy the next.
