Nero Wolfe: The Complete First Season Directed by Bill Duke, 1981

“Imperious and mysterious, Rex Stout’s Nero Wolfe was always a natural for television. Finally, A&E got him right.”–John Leonard, New York Magazine

Theirs is one of fiction’s great partnerships. Nero Wolfe is a brilliant recluse whose world is dominated by his formidable appetites and beloved orchid collection. Archie Goodwin is his stalwart legman, a dapper, street-smart sleuth who uncovers the clues that let Wolfe unravel the most confounding mysteries without ever leaving his Manhattan brownstone.

A&E’s NERO WOLFE stars Maury Chaykin (The Sweet Hereafter, Bartleby) and Oscar winner Timothy Hutton–who also directed several episodes–as the legendary detective team. Faithfully adapting favorites from the vast Wolfe case log, the series perfectly captures the distinctive style of Rex Stout’s classic tales.

This collection includes the complete first season of NERO WOLFE, available on DVD for the first time.
