About this film

"Claudia and David," played by Patricia Ryan & Richard Kollmar, was a drama based on the Redbook magazine stories by Rose Franken and William Brown Meloney. It began as a skit on the Kate Smith Hour June 6, 1941; a month later, it became a summer series. Claudia fell in love with David during her teen years. Much of the conflict within the program, derived from the possessiveness of her mother, the "everyday drama" focusing on counting pennies, balancing the cheque book and the repairing of household items. The "Claudia & David" skits on the Smith show developed the romance; the couple would actually wed at "City Hall" in the second regular episode, July 11, 1941. A syndication attempt in 1947-48,sponsored by Coca Cola, starred Kathryn Bard as Claudia, and Paul Crabtree as David. This is the 1947-1948 syndicated program.
