Nero Wolfe TV 1959 colorized unsold pilot (William Shatner)

1959 · CBS

Unaired TV pilot, based on the books by Rex Stout, about portly private detective Nero Wolfe (Kurt Kasznar), who employs legman Archie Goodwin (William Shatner) to hit the streets tracking down leads so that he can stay at home eating and tending to his orchids. In this episode, "Count the Man Down", Wolfe investigates the mysterious death of a guided-missile scientist during a test launch at Cape Canaveral. Guest stars include Alexander Scourby, Frank Marth and John McLiam. I colorized this using AI software that doesn't always get the colors right, but I think it looks fairly natural. Hopefully a more professional job will be done someday.
