The 1934 comedy/murder mystery The Thin Man is one of my favorite movies of all-time. The chemistry between William Powell and Mirna Loy (as Nick and Nora Charles) is absolutely magical. The film is full of snappy one-liners and the plot is thought provoking who-dunnit. So pour yourself a relaxing drink (Nick Charles has certainly had a few) and enjoy this clip from a true cinema classic.
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 Award® 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.
