The Dreaming City is a 1952 Australian radio serial written by Morris West.[1] It played Monday to Thursdays.[2]

According to ABC Weekly "The action takes place during Venice’s International Film Festival, beginning with the discovery of a film producer dead in his hotel room. The intrigue in which various characters engage stands out in dramatic relief against the picturesque charm of the back-ground. "[3]

According to one review "it's all about fights, abductions, dukes, passwords, countesses, vendettas, and the FBI. Competent enough, but oh. so familiar!"[4]

It was one of a number of 52-episode serials written by West.[5]
