Radio Daze: Sydney Greenstreet as Nero Wolfe for your Old Radio listening pleasure!
Howdy Folks! It’s The Kendog here with another edition of Radio Daze! This edition features two episodes of a short-lived but well-regarded detective series based on the adventures of Nero Wolfe, a detective created by author Rex Stout. Played by excellent character actor Sydney Greenstreet, Nero Wolf ran from late 1950 to early 1951, just one season. But it was a well-made series with sharp scripts and terrrific performances by Greenstreet and the bevy of actors who played Wolfe’s assistant and proxy Archie Goodwin. Their byplay is one of the most entertaining elements in the show! Enjoy the mysteries, the banter, and the old time fun of Nero Wolfe!
The Dogcast: Some “Nero Wolfe” Old Radio Fun In Honor Of Hercule Poirot!
Howdy Folks! It’s The Kendog here with some old radio fun! In honor of the release of “A Haunting In Venice” I’ve decided to include a few old radio programs featuring that famous armchair detective Nero Wolfe! “Nero Wolfe” ran for only 26 episodes in the early 1950s and that always puzzled me because it was a great program with the legendary Sydney Greenstreet as Nero Wolfe and a various collection of actors as his trusty sidekick Archie Goodwin. The banter between Nero Wolfe and Goodwin is worth the price of admission alone but the mysteries are also quite good. ‘The Adventures Of Nero Wolfe” (as the series was properly called) is one of the great gems of detective old radio and I hope you enjoy these two programs as much as I do! So Sayeth The Kendog!
The Dogcast: Some Nero Wolfe For Your Old Radio Enjoyment!
Howdy Folks! It’s The Kendog here with some more old radio fun. This time we’re looking at “The Adventures Of Nero Wolfe. The legendarily cranky and overweight detective is at his best as portrayed by the legendary Sydney Greenstreet and his interactions with his assistant Archie Goodwin are among the most entertaining in old radio. The series only ran one season in 1950 but that in no way is a reflection on its quality. Check out these two episodes of Nero Wolfe and enjoy! So Sayeth The Kendog!
