The League of Frightened Men

The basic story and the names are the only things that this has in common with the original story but the characters don't look or act right and there are too many miss opportunities.

The private detective Nero Wolfe reminds a lot of an American Poirot. So no wonder I enjoyed this mystery. Perhaps a little too intricate for programmer length feature, but at least there was an angle coming at every corner of the investigation. Walter Connolly does a fine job taking Edward Arnold's place from the first movie of the detective, while Lionel Stander returns as the lively assistant. And the dynamic makes it fun. Worth a look if you like old B-mysteries like this.
