  • The Thin Man (1934) #WarnerArchive #WarnerBros #TheThinMan
    Nick and Nora Charles cordially invite you to bring your own alibi to The Thin Man, the jaunty whodunit that made William Powell and Myrna Loy the champagne elite of sleuthing. Bantering in the boudoir, enjoying walks with beloved dog Asta or matching each other highball for highball and clue for clue, they combined screwball romance with mystery. The resulting triumph nabbed four Academy Award® nominations (including Best Picture) and spawned five sequels. Credit W.S. "Woody" Van Dyke for recognizing that Powell and Loy were ideal together and for getting the studio's okay by promising to shoot this splendid adaptation of Dashiell Hammett's novel in three weeks. He took 12 days. They didn't call him "One-Take Woody" for nothing.
    Directed By W.S. Van Dyke
    Starring William Powell, Myrna Loy, Maureen O'Sullivan

    They could have done a whole movie just with Powell and Loy sitting and bantering, and it would have been better than 90% of the films they put out nowadays.

    I've had a silly fantasy ever since I've first watched "The Thin Man" - I'd love to have Nick Charles's wardrobe, right down the cufflinks, overcoats, wristwatches, neck ties, cocktail shakers and pajamas. One of the most dapper and elegant actors, period. Bill Powell is a men's fashion icon and Myrna Loy was a babe! ASTA!

    Back in the days when alcoholism and public drunkenness did not carry a social stigma. But it's still a great film. The next three films in the series were just as good. They should have made more of them. Well, maybe they should not have made Song of the Thin Man. That one was too dark. Not that I don't like noir, because I do. But the last of the six of the series just did not do the Thin Man any justice.
    BTW, Nick Charles (William Powell) is not the Thin Man. It was the character named Wynant.

      @@fireseeker4him No, there were exactly six Thin Man movies. Numbers two, three and four were just as great as the original. That's really rare in Hollywood. Number five, The Thin Man Goes Home, was good, but not great as the first four. As mentioned above, Song of the Thin Man was not good at all.
      A note of interest, Dashiell Hammett, who wrote the novel on which the first film was based, was called in to write the script of the first sequel After the Thin Man.
      In doing some checking, I noticed a remake of The Thin Man is in the works. Johnny Depp is involved. No disrespect intended for Depp, but I wish instead they'd re-release the original to theaters. They should from time to time re-release the old classics for theaters.

      I'm too young to know, but it's a reasonable suspicion that movies even back then had some differences from real life, that is, on the "small details" scale. Similarly, I'm also curious about the silly low-banister staircase in "Charlie Chan in the Secret Service" (1944.) It may have been low just to get a better shot of the actors going up or down the steps.
