Loved this show when I was little, and had a HUGE CRUSH on Gene Barry 😍. Loved the song too. This guy who's singing is massacring the song 🎵. He's changing the rhythm, and going up when he should go down, and vice aversa.
Using music from "Bride of Frankenstein" in the credits. Standard Capital may have dispatched Carl Laemmle, but they're still the very frugal Universal.
Nero never drank from any beer bottle and Archie wasn't a Jerry Lewis wannabee. It didn't involve Archie but the arrogant guy who brought the clubs from a golf store inspired Nero's greatest quote: ...it is our good fortune that the exigencies of birth and training furnish all of us with the opportunities for snobbery. You are lucky these ridiculous instruments are yours.
I thought they were more spot on to the books characters on make-believe back then, but their butching the Nero Wolfe characters big time. The director/ producers must have hated Rex Stout to change his characters personality 😢😢😢😢😢😢😢
Snappy yet with just enough grit to make this a homerun bit of suspenseful crime fun, with good performances by the cast. Really enjoyed this one. Thanks!
Be sure to sign up for the RCA Victor Records Personal Music Service "The Music You Want.... Direct to Your Door." I saw this record featured and it's fantastic someone put it up on RU-vid.
Wolfe and Archie are so much different than all the other versions I've seen, 1st time seeing this one, it's still good, the one in the 90's or 2000's the last TV series of Nero Wolfe is my favorite. The radio ones in the late 30s early 40s I think it was close 2nd. I'm seeing their faces but not their names. Bad memory goes with being a boomer 😊
Great, Classic Recording and Song! I was a born in the late of 1978. I was given the .45 peter pan recording of Daniel Boone, The Daddy of The All by a babysitter of this great song when I was three and Still have it!
I listened to these albums when I was a kid until they wouldn't play anymore. I still haven't found the album with "Leaky Boat Louie" or the album that had "Monster Surfer Hanging Six"
The opening logo of the global ball was the new universal logo 1936, from the previous logo of the Airplane flying around the world. This is when the studio change ownership and called themselves the new universal.
Relative of the real Elfego here. According to family members of mine who knew him (unfortunately never met them, but met people who knew them), the show was pretty accurate.
Lionel Stander was not the only actor who appeared in this film who was later blacklisted. Victor Killian, who plays taxi drive Pitney Scott, was another. Killian later had a recurring role on the legendary "Mary Hartman, Mary Hartman".
