Auguste By Raymond Castans (1961). BBC RADIO DRAMA

Saturday-Night Theatre: Auguste
Sat 11th Feb 1961, 20:30 on BBC Home Service Basic
By Raymond Castans

A comedy about the power of the media. It plays in Paris and Cannes, if you want: today.

The shy Auguste Roussel saves Françoise Martin's life by jumping into the cold waters of the Seine. Actually a heroic deed, but the shrewd advertising man George Flower had completely different plans for the young lady.

English version by Joan Sutro
Adapted for radio by Cynthia Pugh
Production by H. B. Fortuin

A great specialist in this modern form of advertising called "public relations", George Flower wanted, on the one hand, to launch the films of the great American star Marylin Wood, and on the other hand to make the young starlet known to the general public. Françoise Martin on whom he has great hopes. To draw the attention of her fellow citizens to herself, Françoise will have to throw herself into the Seine, at the Pont de l'Alma, the very minute the President of the Republic will inaugurate the Salon Nautique and - Françoise will have to be saved , of course, by the big star of Hollywood Gary Johnson of whom she will be the partner in his next film.
