The Adventures of Nero Wolfe
Old Time Radio: Crime-Detective
 The Adventures of Nero Wolfe was an immensely popular mystery detective show broadcast from 1943 to 1951. Nero Wolfe was a fictional detective genius created by the American mystery writer Rex Stout, who made his debut in 1934. Many actors played Wolfe, including Santos Ortega, Francis Bushman, and Sydney Greenstreet. Much like Sherlock Holmes, Wolfe had a confidential assistant Archie Goodwin who recorded his cases. Unlike Holmes, Wolfe never left the comfort of his residence in order to solve cases. |

Nero Wolfe's set of eccentricities endeared himself to millions of radio fans. Rex Stout's Wolfe was a remarkably well-developed and detailed character. As an unapologetically fat man, Wolfe is a beer-drinking and chair-bound genius who cultivated orchids and enjoyed lavish fine food. Wolfe supported his luxurious lifestyle at his Brownstone residence in New York by interpreting the data and evidence collected by his right-hand man Archie Goodwin. |
