William Powell and Myrna Loy, will I ever get bored of watching these two? I wish I could possess the wit and charm of William Powell, someone who can still remain classy and have a way with words even when inebriated (which is often).

Young Dorothy Wynant approaches amateur sleuth Nick Charles when her inventor father appears to be a major suspect in a murder case. In fact, Dorothy is so worried about her father's guilt that she tries to convince Nick that she did it. Nick's wife Nora wants him on the case so that she can experience some of the excitement herself. However, Nick is reluctant to get involved until he sees that police Lt.

Movieline's 100 Best Female Characters in Film (98 movies items)

" Nora Charles played by Myrna Loy "Authentically sophisticated practitioner of that only-works-in-the-movies marriage strategy wherein the witty, stunningly beautiful wife keeps up with, and often ahead of, her husband in such things as martini drinking, and makes the whole experience fun for both of them"."

BradWesley123's Movie Journal- January 2016 (33 movies items)

" VHS- 1hr. 29min. First Viewing The Thin Man is a joyous experience from beginning to end. It's top-notch in every department, especially the witty script and Powell's performance. The kind of movie you watch to cheer you up after a bad day; spoiler, it likely will. Monthly Wesley AwardsBest Picture Best Adapted Screenplay- Frances Goodrich and Albert Hackett "
