The Thin Man

The Thin Man (1934) starring William Powell, Myrna Loy, Maureen O'Sullivan. Nick and Nora Charles (Powell and Loy) get involved in a murder case, but they don't allow the investigation to come between them and their drinking. This was the first in a highly successful series of movies teaming up Powell and Loy, and it features some snappy dialogue and comedy along with the mystery, which is actually of secondary interest. (English subtitles are available, as well as closed captions.) Grade: B
