The New
Adventures of Nero Wolfe
was one of several radio incarnations of the
armchair detective first made famous in Rex Stout's novels. With Sydney
Greenstreet (pictured) in the starring role, the show premiered on October
20, 1950 and ran through 1951 on NBC.
Wolfe was unique in that he rarely left his house, depending on his assistant Archie Goodwin to conduct interviews, gather facts and report his findings to Wolfe, who would in turn solve the case. That is, when he wasn't occupied with his other passions-collecting orchids and dining on gourmet food.
