  • Nero Wolfe Series-Season1 Music Commentary

    Nero Wolfe Series-Season1 Music Commentary

    Nero Wolfe Series-Season1 Music Commentary A & E TV SERIES Season 1 Music by Nadine Bandler The first use of non-original music for the series is in The Doorbell Rang. Only one song is used, "La Donna e mobile", from Rigoletto by Verdi. This is an aria about the fickleness of women, which subject has nothing to do with the storyline. The song is presumably being played on the radio as background noise used to cover the brownstone goings-on in case the F.B.I. is listening in. Certain pieces of so-called "classical" music go through phases of popularity, just as other music and forms of art do. A lot of the pieces in the series are ones that would have been perhaps a little overexposed and familiar to the general populace during the 1950s, the time frame of most of the shows. This is one of them. So it is fitting that it should be a random radio selection. Other pieces used in the series are more obscure and apparently fitted to the situation, as I'll note later, individually. Starting with Champagne for One, the choice of music begins to get quite creative. The use of "Jazz Suite No. 2 (Suite for Promenade Orchestra.): VI Waltz 2" by Dmitri Shostakovich makes the introductory sequence wonderfully memorable and it is delightful to hear it again later in the show as actual dance music. Is it my imagination or does this tune have slightly sinister undertones? This makes it all the more suitable. Note that this waltz was also used in the movie Eyes Wide Shut.
  • Rex Stout Does Not Belong in Russia: Exporting the Detective Novel

    Rex Stout Does Not Belong in Russia: Exporting the Detective Novel

    Wesleyan University The Honors College Rex Stout Does Not Belong in Russia: Exporting the Detective Novel by Molly Jane Levine Zuckerman Class of 2016 A thesis submitted to the faculty of Wesleyan University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the Degree of Bachelor of Arts with Departmental Honors in the Russian, East European, and Eurasian Studies Program Middletown, Connecticut April, 2016 Foreword While browsing through a stack of Russian and American novels in translation on a table on Arbat Street in Moscow in 2013, I came across a Russian copy of one of my favorite books, And Be a Villain, by one of my favorite authors, Rex Stout. I only knew about this author because my father had lent me a copy of And Be a Villain when I was in middle school, and I was so entranced by the novel that I went out to Barnes & Noble to buy as many as they had in stock. I quickly ran out of Stout books to read, because at the time, his books were out of print in America. I managed to get hold of most copies by high school, courtesy of a family friend’s mother who had died and passed on her collection of Stout novels to our family. Due to the relative difficulty I had had in acquiring these books in America, I was surprised to find one lying on a book stand in Moscow, so I bought it for less than 30 cents (which was probably around the original price of its first printing in America).

    {PDF EPUB} the First Rex Stout Omnibus Featuring Nero

    Read Ebook {PDF EPUB} The First Rex Stout Omnibus Featuring Nero Wolfe And Archie Goodwin The Doorbell Rang The Second The First Rex Stout Omnibus: Featuring Nero Wolfe And Archie Goodwin: " The Doorbell Rang " " The Second Confession " And " More Deaths Than One " by Rex Stout. TimeSearch for Books and Writers by Bamber Gascoigne. American author, who wrote over 70 detective novels, 46 of them featuring eccentric, chubby, beer drinking gourmet sleuth Nero Wolfe, whose wisecracking aide and right hand assistant in crime solving was Archie Goodwin. Stout began his literary career by writing for pulp magazines, publishing romance, adventure, some borderline detective stories. After 1938 he focused solely on the mystery field. Rex Stout was born in Noblesville, Indiana, the son of John Wallace Stout and Lucetta Elizabeth Todhunter. They both were Quakers. Shortly after his birth, the family moved to Wakarusa, Kansas. Stout was educated at Topeka High School, and at University of Kansas, Lawrence, which he left to enlist in the Navy. From 1906 to 1908 he served as a Yeoman on President Theodore Roosevelt's yacht. The following years Stout spent writing freelance articles and working in odd jobs – as an office boy, store clerk, bookkeeper, and hotel manager. With his brother he invented an astonishing savings plans, the Educational Thrift Service, for school children. The system was installed in 400 cities throughout the USA, earning Stout about $400,000 and making him financially secure. In 1916 Stout married Fay Kennedy of Topeka, Kansas. They separated in 1931 – according to a story, she eloped with a Russian commissar – and Stout married Pola Hoffman, a fabric designer.

  • Rex Stout (1886-1975)

    Rex Stout (1886-1975)

    REX STOUT (1886-1975) FEATURING ALL THE NERO WOLFE TITLES In 1959, at age 73, Rex Stout received the Mystery Writers of America’s Grand Master Award. At the time, he had published 32 books featuring Nero Wolfe and Archie Goodwin, his most enduring characters, including classics such as THE LEAGUE OF FRIGHTENED MEN (1935), SOME BURIED CEASAR (1939), and AND BE A VILLAIN (1948). Not surprisingly, given his outspoken left-wing political views, particularly on civil liberties, Stout had also created one of the earliest female private investigators, Theolinda “Dol” Bonner, in THE HAND IN GLOVE (1937), and a part-Native American farmer-turned-detective, Tecumseh Fox, in DOUBLE FOR DEATH (1939). Having been named a Grand Master, however, hardly meant Stout’s career was done. Fifteen years of writing still lay ahead of him, including two of his most highly regarded Nero Wolfe novels, DEATH OF A DOXY (1966) and A FAMILY AFFAIR (1975). When Stout passed away at the age of 88, the Nero Wolfe series consisted of 77 titles, including novels, novellas, and short stories. Stout scholar and biographer John McAleer has described the Nero Wolfe mysteries as “an epic that ultimately would encompass more than ten thousand pages.” No wonder, as the 20th century drew to a close, that mystery and detective writers and aficionados at Bouchercon XXXI in September of 2000 nominated Rex Stout for Writer of the Century and the Nero Wolfe mysteries as Series of the Century. From the publication of FER-DE-LANCE, the first Nero Wolfe novel in 1934, the Wolfe mysteries have always been a unique blend of golden age whodunit and hardboiled crime.
  • Twentieth Century Paperbacks Collection MSS 219 3.5 Linear Feet

    Twentieth Century Paperbacks Collection MSS 219 3.5 Linear Feet

    Twentieth Century Paperbacks Collection MSS 219 3.5 linear feet Background Writing in Hardboiled America: The Lurid Years of Paperbacks, Geoffrey O’Brien summarizes the rise of the modern American paperback book: Cheap reprints and books bound in paper arose and flourished sporadically in America from the nineteenth century onwards. Although most of these were purely commercial efforts, a significant percentage were associated with a zeal for bringing culture to the masses. Nevertheless, and despite the obvious practicality of cheap mass printing, no one had been able to give that kind of publishing any permanence until June 19th, 1939, when the first ten releases of Pocket Books saw the light of day. Robert DeGraff, the company’s founder, may have been influenced by the success of Penguin Books, which had begun publishing several years earlier in England (33). Commenting on the cover art, Mr. O’Brien wrote: What surprises in the end is how much of paperback art of the Forties and Fifties conveys a sense of reality and a warmth of emotion. Even the fantasies have a homespun texture, and the most unreal of them are brought down to earth, if only by the crudeness of their execution. Today’s spell-casters have more elaborate tools at their disposal for imparting a magical aura to the every more efficient packaging. The success story of the media has culminated in a kind of computerized aesthetics not programmed for loose ends, in which considerations like corporate image and demographics are part of every image. When the bright lights and synthesized soundtracks of today’s conglomerate marketing merge into a single vast blur, it is comforting to rest a while in the clear lines of the ramshackle porch on the cover of Erskine Caldwell’s Journeyman, or to sit with Studs Lonigan in the park on a warm summer night.
  • Semi-Private Eyes

    Semi-Private Eyes

    Curriculum Units by Fellows of the Yale-New Haven Teachers Institute 1982 Volume I: Society and the Detective Novel Semi-Private Eyes Curriculum Unit 82.01.05 by Anthony F. Franco Benny sits in the cafeteria, opens his carton of milk, and prepares to devour his government-subsidized fried chicken. Within moments several other boys join him with their lunch trays at the table. A few minutes later there are no less than six other boys and several girls jockeying for position at the now crowded table. Benny is captain of the basketball team, good-looking, well-mannered, and adequately intelligent. His popularity is well-deserved. He is adored by students and well-liked by his teachers. Benny will say very little at the table today. The conversation concerns the school’s basketball game of the previous afternoon. Should he agree with the jabbering analysis, it will be looked upon as formal certification of all that transpires. If he should disagree with the minutest detail concerning the game, the conversation will immediately take a different turn. Benny uses his foils well. Tricia is an extremely attractive co-ed at the same school as Benny. Tricia has attained academic honors throughout the year. Each morning a crowd of students surrounds Tricia’s desk as she brushes her hair and freshens her makeup. Throughout the day Tricia is never unaccompanied to class. Her usual companions are a bevy of other girls who do not approach Tricia’s appearance or intelligence. These same girls usually sit near Tricia in her classes and are attentive to every word she says.

A&E Television Networks, 800-423-1212;ShopAETV.com. 2004 LIBRARY JOURNAL | MICHAEL ROGERS | DECEMBER 2004 A&E's tragically short-lived detective series makes its much-welcomed DVD debut. The First Season boxed set offers The Doorbell Rang, Champagne for One, Prisoner’s Base 1 & 2, Eeny Meeny Murder Moe, Disguise for Murder, Door to Death, Christmas Party, and Over My Dead Body. The Second Season features Death of a Doxy, Murder Is Corny, Too Many Clients, and Cop Killer, plus extras, including The Golden Spiders, a two-hour feature that aired before the show was officially scheduled, a “Making of” featurette, and an especially nice bonus program, The Silent Speaker, presented in letterbox. The production quality here is top shelf, and every element, from the cars and wardrobe to jazzy soundtrack and locations, is dead on. The scripts have been carefully and faithfully adapted to retain the all-important atmosphere of Rex Stout’s original works. What really makes the series superior, however, is the ensemble cast led by Maury Chaykin as Wolfe; Timothy Hutton as Wolfe’s right hand, Archie Goodwin; Colin Fox and butler/chef Fritz; and Bill Smitrovich as the bull-necked cigar-chomping Inspector Cramer. There is especially strong chemistry between Hutton and Chaykin, who epitomizes the rotund, beer-swilling sleuth with appropriate magisterial indignation and eccentricity.
