Nero Wolfe, a character from a series of novels by Rex Stout, was
known as the gargantuan gourmet, the fat genius whose eye for detail
has solved many a perfect murder. Wolfe rated the knife and fork as
the greatest tools ever invented by man. Archie Goodwin, Wolfe's
male secretary, prodded him into taking cases whenever the bank
balance got a little low.

Nero Wolfe came to radio first in the United States on the NBC Blue
Network in the early 1940's in THE NEW ADVENTURES OF NERO WOLFE. In
the late 1940's, his adventures were heard on the Mutual network in
THE AMAZING NERO WOLFE. The last US series featuring this detective
was THE NEW ADVENTURES OF NERO WOLFE in the early 1950's.

In 1982, the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation brought detective Nero
Wolfe back to radio. The CBC called their series simply NERO WOLFE.
It ran for only 13 1-hour shows, all of which were done in stereo.
The shows were adaptations of short stories from various anthologies.

Wolfe, as a character, is difficult to like. He's a self-assured
type that does nothing unless he wants to. He never even leaves his
house, making his assistant, Archie Goodwin, deal with the outside
world. Mayver Moore, who plays Wolfe, and Don Francs, playing
Archie, perform their parts very well. With a full hour per show,
there's ample time for character and plot development. The entire
series is well done, an enjoyable listen.

Nero Wolfe: Mayver Moore
Archie Goodwin: Don Francs
Inspector Cramer: Cec Linder
Fritz: Frank Perry
Saul: Alfie Scott
Music: Don Gillis
Adapted and Produced: Ron Hartman
