Overview

Filmed on what MGM considered a B-picture budget and schedule 14 days, which at Universal or Columbia would have been considered extravagant The Thin Man proved to be "sleeper," spawning a popular film, radio and television series. Contrary to popular belief, the title does not refer to star William Powell, but to Edward Ellis, playing the mean-spirited inventor who sets the plot in motion. The recently divorced Ellis discovers that his new girl friend Natalie Moorhead has stolen $50,000 and is carrying on with other men. Not long afterward, he disappears. Anxious to locate her father, Ellis' daughter Maureen O'Sullivan goes to private detective Nick Charles William Powell for help. Having just married the lovely and wealthy Nora Myrna Loy, Nick has no desire to return to sleuthing, but the thrill-seeking Nora eagerly talks him into taking O'Sullivan's case. Shortly thereafter, Ellis' lady friend is murdered; so far as police detective Nat Pendleton is concerned, the still-missing Ellis is the guilty party. Nick is unsatisfied with this deduction, and with the help of his wire terrier Asta he manages to uncover several vital clues--including a decomposed corpse. At a fancy dinner party, between cocktails and the first course, Nick solves the mystery and exposes a hidden murderer. The story itself, lifted almost verbatim by scenarists Albert Hackett and Frances Goodrich from the Dashiell Hammett novel on which The Thin Man is based, hardly matters. The film's strong suit is the witty repartee between Nick and Nora Charles, who managed to behave like saucily illicit lovers throughout the film even though they're married. The chemistry between William Powell and Myrna Loy would be adroitly exploited by MGM in several subsequent films, including five additional Thin Man mysteries produced between 1936 and 1948.

    Five Star Thriller

    The Thin Man may be the best-crafted mystery comedy of all time, filled with clever rapid fire one-liners, and a well developed plotline. William Powell and Myrna Loy are perfectly cast as the wisecracking and often inebriated couple, detective Nick Charles and wife, Nora. The first of a long run of sequels, which have yet to be released on DVD, The Thin Man deserves all the 5 Star praise it receives.

    why not a boxed set?

    I love all the Thin Man movies - can watch them over and over. Powell and Loy are wonderful together. Why aren't all 6 released together as a boxed set? They deserve to be.

    Timeless Classic!

    While the time was the 1930s, the humor is ageless. The clothes, customs, chicanery, and comedy are to long for.Clever and entertaining from start to finish.

    Best teaming in film history!

    Wonderful movie! William Powell is one of the best actors of his time, especially in a comedy. Pairing him with the beautiful Myrna Loy, makes the movie perfect. They just don't make movie stars like they used to. Watch the movie, it's fantastic!
