Ah, the movie that started it all: fourteen beloved William Powell and Myrna Loy films with banter, laughs, drama, and above all, heart. The Thin Man series is just like any other whodunnit, but with a married couple who obviously love each other. In fact, when the leads went traveling to promote the film in various premieres and festivals, hotel managers were shocked to find out they weren't actually married in real life! A second room (non-adjoining) was required.
Nick and Nora Charles, the life of the party in society, want for nothing. They have a darling little dog, Asta, enough money, interesting friends, and an endless supply of martinis. This series is also famous for the amount of liquor William Powell can drink and still function. Bill used to be a detective, and he's lured back to his old job by a friend and former client. The man he's looking for is actually nicknamed "the thin man" because of his description, but the phrase became so popular, the series quickly transferred it to Bill himself.
You'll see familiar faces in each of the six installments. In this one, you'll see Maureen O'Sullivan, Nat Pendleton, Edward Brophy, Porter Hall, and Cesar Romero in only his second movie. If you haven't seen at least one of the Thin Man movies, you're missing out on some classic cinema.
