Subject: BS: Nero Wolfe videos
Since Covid, I'm watching a lot more TV in the form of YouTube videos, and I've come across a series which I think more people would like to see.

My mother was a Rex Stout fan. In the mid-fifties my parents' idea of a good Saturday night was to eat potato chips and drink highballs while my mother curled up on the couch with a paperback, either Rex Stout or P.G. Wodehouse. [Don't ask me how my father spent the time.] As the years passed, I too started reading Rex Stout. Now the DH reads him.

A person named Usse Harr has posted dramatizations of Nero Wolfe novels on YouTube. [There have been other dramatizations, but Usse Harr's look the best to me.]Of course there are things that do not gibe with my personal images of Wolfe, Archie, Fritz and Saul, but I forgive. I love the interiors, the costumes, the manners, even (sometimes) the music.

If you are a Rex Stout fan, I suggest you try them. I'd like to hear what you think. Here's the URL for Part 1 of 'Champagne for One.' Enjoy Shostakovich's Waltz No. 2
