Some Buried Caesar

Throwback Thursday takes us back to another mystery with New York’s famous detective Nero Wolfe. The sixth Nero Wolfe novel is unusual in that no part of the novel takes place within the homey confines of the New York brownstone. In fact, none of it takes place within New York City. Instead we start on the road with Archie Goodwin and Wolfe on the way to an agricultural event in the rural areas of upstate New York involving the investigator’s prized orchids where a car accident leaves the pair stranded, wandering into a pasture where they are intimidated by a bull, stuck in the middle of a commotion concerning the bull’s fate, and eventually hired to solve a murder.

Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon

It’s hard to imagine a more unexpected hit in 2000 than Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon but the film surpassed all expectations, and a mainstream movie-going audience which at that point was far less accepting of foreign films, becoming both a critical and box office smash. Adapted from the novel, the film centers around renowned Wudang swordsman Li Mu Bai (Chow Yun-Fat) and his longtime ally Shu Lien (Michelle Yeoh) as well as the governor’s daughter Jen (Ziyi Zhang) who is secretly the apprentice of the villainous Jade Fox (Pei-Pei Cheng) and her love for desert bandit named Lo (Chang Chen).
