Movie Reviews of Nero Wolfe - The Complete Classic Whodunit Series

Movie Review: Nero Wolfe Complete Classic Whodunit Series
Summary: 5 Stars

Without a doubt this is one of the best mystery series ever. In a day in which crime drama is full of DNA, crime labs, blood, violence, gunfights and more, this series is just plain fantastic. The casting is perfect. Timothy Hutton as the wisecracking, steet smart, lovable Archie Goodwin is Archie. Maury Chaykin captures the master detective who is afraid of fresh air and his love for food is equaled for his love or orchids. Colin Fox is the loyal friend to Archie and the chef who always seems to challenge Nero's desire for perfect food. Bill Smitrovich as Inspector Cramer is always chomping on a cigar as he boils over at Nero solving a crime. Conrad Dunn as Saul Panzer is tough, straight foward and always there when needed.
R.D. Reid as Sergeant Purley Stebbins, Saul Rubinek as Lon Cohen, Fulvio Cecere as Fred Durkin and Trent McMullen as Orrie Cather round out perfect casting of regular characters.
Another great factor of the show is the core cast of actors and actresses who play different characters in different episodes. If is fun to watch and see the different players and they become a different person from adventure to adventure. They include the lovely Kari Matchett, James Tolkan, Boyd Banks, Christine Brubaker, George Plimpton, Debra Monk, Bill MacDonald, Francie Swift, Beau Starr and many others.
Keeping the show in the time period of the 40's and 50's is true to the stories. The set, the costumes, the cars and other factors capture the period and style of the stories.
So if you want to think, if you want to laugh, if you want to enjoy, if you want to escape for a period from the world, watch Nero Wolfe.

Summary of Nero Wolfe - The Complete Classic Whodunit Series

Like Sherlock Holmes and Watson before them, the brilliant but curmudgeonly Nero Wolfe and his streetwise sidekick Archie Goodwin are crime's greatest nemeses. With Nero preferring to solve crimes at home amid his orchid collection, it is Archie who does the legwork about town to allow Wolfe to unravel the most confounding crimes. Together the duo cracks cases of murder, deception, blackmail, and more, resulting in an unforgettable confection of mystery, suspense, and style.

Faithfully adapted from the best-selling stories by Rex Stout, THE COMPLETE NERO WOLFE MEGASET stars Maury Chaykin (The Sweet Hereafter) and Oscar(r) winner Timothy Hutton (Ordinary People) and features all 20 episodes of the critically acclaimed A&E series, including the feature-length series pilot, The Golden Spiders.
