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 AwardO 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.
Viewer Reviews An absolute classic! William Powell & Myrna Loy have perfect chemistry in this 1930's comedy/mystery. If you like tongue in cheek humor, this is for you. Nick Charles is a P.I. who marries wealthy socialite Nora Charles. Nora is wonderful as a first time sleuth, and Nick just tries to keep her safe. I love Nick Charles laid back charm, and Nora's go get'um attitude. Along with their dog Asta, you can't go wrong. The Thin Man (Keepcase)
