Product Information
THE THIN MAN is the first installment in one of the most successful detective serials in film history, based on the 1932 novel by Dashiell Hammett about stylish sleuthing spouses Nick (William Powell) and Nora Charles (Myrna Loy). Powell and Loy's quick-witted repartee set a Hollywood tradition in their crackling debut as they investigate the disappearance of a wealthy inventor. A blockbuster hit in 1934, THE THIN MAN's convoluted mystery plot moves at a rapid-fire pace that will delight modern viewers. Director W.S. Van Dyke's fast but loose methods helped stars Powell and Loy create great verisimilitude in their marital relationship in spite of the highly stylized script. Even the couple's pet dog, Asta, brings home a finely tuned performance, and the supporting roles are filled with a crew of comical characters. THE THIN MAN must not be missed by fans of the detective genre.Product Identifiers

Powell & Loy are better in other collaborations
As a HUGE fan of William Powell & Myrna Loy films, I am always AMAZED that the THIN MAN series is so often cited as they "greatest work". I find it generally their weakest work (I LOVE YOU AGAIN, DOUBLE WEDDING, LIBELLED LADY, etc... are all, in my opinion, WAY better, funnier, more charming & less "dated". I find the THIN MAN series generally so-so -- stiff direction, clunky script & their "endless boozing" (supposedly hilarious) simply hasn't aged well. Ditto for Asta, with his un-funny cutaways that REALLY overstay their welcome. So, great, charismatic leads & occasional amusing moments.... but my advice is if you like Powell & Loy, check out their OTHER collaborations ahead of the THIN MAN 6 packBestätigter Kauf: JaArtikelzustand: Neu

Thin Movie about a Thin Man
If you're a Dashiell Hammett fan, you may or may not like this movie. In contrast to the 1941 version of The Maltese Falcon, for instance, this version of The Thin Man was adapted to be more 'light-hearted' and whimsical. Notably, the dog Asta becomes one of the main 'characters', mugging in typical cutesy ersatz 'doggie reactions' to various events in the movie. Also, the actor who plays Nick Charles makes broad, exaggerated jaw-drop reactions to witty remarks by his wife... kind of a poor-man's laugh track, or a cue to slower members of the audience that something outrageous was said. Bonus snark: This is not film noir, it's more 'film skinny latte'. (Apparently, this kind of thing got worse, and the plots much thinner, in the Thin Man sequels, which I have not seen (and will not see). Caveat film snob.) On the plus side: Great photography by James Wong Howe, the beautiful black-and-white tonal range of one of the golden ages of film. Several of the lesser characters are well-cast and entertaining, and the basic story line is pretty faithful to the book.Bestätigter Kauf: JaArtikelzustand: Gebraucht
