In preparation for an offering with the above title, featuring (among others) Nero Wolfe, The Fat Man, and Mycroft Holmes, I am searching for any or all of the following fills:
1. Episode Four of the Nero Wolfe radio show from the Fifties. (Nero Wolfe - 50-11-10 (04) The Headless Hunter) This episode is presumed to be "lost," but it never hurts to ask.
2. More reasonable: Episodes from the 1981 TV version of Wolfe. This is the Conrad-Horsley set. I have the complete Chaykin-Hutton set.
I need the following (all of which ARE available):
Episode 1: The Golden Spider
Episode 2: Death on the Doorstep
Episode 5: Might as Well Be Dead
Episode 8: Murder By the Book
Episode 14: Sweet Revenge
3. I'd love to hear from "Dave" about the "55 episodes of Nero Wolfe " that he offered. If these include any of the pre-1950 Wolfe shows, that would be fantastic.
4. There are also three Italian TV productions of Wolfe, in 1969, 1979 and 2010-2012. I have copies of the recent series, but there is apparently none available with subtitles. If anyone knows of these, I'd also like to get them.
5. The 1936 film Meet Nero Wolfe which starred Edward Arnold. It's noteworthy because of a bit part by the famous Rita Cansino, whom you might know as Rita Hayworth! The only source for purchase of a copy of this movie seems to have disappeared.
Any other suggestions for inclusion of other avoirdupois-enhanced detectives would be welcome.

The Italian DVDs are ubiquitous. I already have the Italian files. I need English subs. :>)
Hello Bob,
All the episodes of the Conrad-Horsley 1981 show are in this torrent -

Thanks Wayne, but that torrent has been dead for at least two years, maybe longer. Neither the standard .torrent approach nor the magnet links provide any seeders (or even any valid trackers).
Further, I suspect that this is the torrent whence came my files and I dleeted the missing ones because they were unwatchable. It's a VHS rip and not a very good one.
