Arrowsmith: Science, Sacrifice, and the Cost of Truth

from Lux Redux: Hollywood's Timeless Theater

In Lux Radio Theater's gripping adaptation of Sinclair Lewis's Pulitzer-winning novel, "Arrowsmith: Science, Sacrifice, and the Cost of Truth", Spencer Tracy stars as Dr. Martin Arrowsmith, a gifted young physician torn between his passion for medical research and the emotional toll of real-life consequences. Alongside Faye Wray as Leora, his loyal and loving wife, Martin's journey takes him from rural America to the plague-ridden Caribbean, where he must decide between scientific advancement and human compassion. As he faces moral dilemmas, institutional politics, and personal tragedy, Arrowsmith must answer the ultimate question: can one man truly serve both science and the soul? With stellar performances and a thoughtful portrayal of ambition, love, and ethical conflict, this episode remains a standout moment in radio drama. Cast Members: Spencer Tracy, Fay Wray, Helen Wood, Frank Riker, John Qualen, Terry Hunt, John R. Kissinger (guest), Louis Silvers, Cecil B. DeMille.
