Forsaking All Others: A Wedding, a Wreck, and a Second Chance

In Forsaking All Others: A Wedding, a Wreck, and a Second Chance, Lux Radio Theatre brings sizzling wit and tangled emotions to the airwaves with a romantic comedy that walks the fine line between heartbreak and hilarity. Betty Davis stars as the strong-willed Mary Clay, jilted at the altar by the man she loves—only to find solace, and maybe something more, in the steadfast devotion of her lifelong friend, played by Joel McCrea.

Based on the Broadway hit, this episode dives into a love triangle full of glamorous parties, missed connections, and the enduring tug of true affection. With Anderson Lawler reprising his stage role and a sparkling script full of zingers, it’s a spirited look at love gone wrong—and how sometimes, second chances come from the most unexpected places.

Cast Members: Betty Davis, Joel McCrea, Anderson Lawler, Frank Nelson, Lou Merrill, Louis Silvers, Cecil B. DeMille
Special Guest: Mervyn LeRoy (Hollywood director and producer)
