30 minute detective/detective show
Nero Wolfe is a fictional detective, created in 1934 by the American mystery writer Rex Stout. Wolfe's confidential assistant Archie Goodwin narrates the cases of the detective genius. Stout wrote 33 novels and 39 short stories from 1934 to 1974, with most of them set in New York City.
Nero Wolfe is described as a “detective genius who rates the knife and fork the greatest tools ever invented by man”. What we're saying is that Wolfe is a . . . large man, weighing “a seventh of a ton”. Wolfe is also known for his expensive tastes, living in a comfortable and luxurious New York City brownstone on West 35th Street. Nero Wolfe is famous for trying to never leave his brownstone on business, his associate, Archie does the legwork, while Nero takes the pieces and solves the puzzle.
Nero Wolfe has been portrayed in four radio drama series on five different networks. This collection is of the New Adventures of Nero Wolfe (NBC) (with one earlier episode from the Adventures of Nero Wolfe)
In the New Adventures of Nero Wolfe, Sydney Greenstreet starred as Wolfe. "Rex thought Greenstreet a splendid choice for the role and Greenstreet did, in fact, fill every reasonable expectation," wrote Stout biographer John McAleer. "The wryness of Wolfe, for which Archie's drollery is a whetsone, was not felt in the earlier interpretations. A succession of Archies included Gerald Mohr, Herb Ellis, Lawrence Dobkin, Harry Bartell, Lamont Johnson and Wally Maher. William Johnstone was heard semi-regularly as Inspector Cramer.
