Description
Billed at one time as “the handsomest man in the world,” silent screen idol Francis X. Bushman may seem a strange choice to play Rex Stout’s gargantuan gourmet Nero Wolfe, but in 1945 he lent his considerable stage presence to the role on radio. Bushman headlined The Amazing Nero Wolfe, a short-lived series that co-starred radio actor and director Elliott Lewis as Archie Goodwin. We’ll hear their take on the classic gumshoes in the show’s sole surviving episode – “The Shakespeare Folio,” originally aired on Mutual on November 30, 1945.
