Synopsis

Between cocktails and the first course of a society dinner, urbane, dry-witted detectives and sophisticates Nick and Nora Charles will show the police the holes in their investigation, unmask a brutal murderer and solve the mystery behind the disappearance of The Thin Man.

When New York City private Nick Charles (William Powell) married wealthy Nora (Myrna Loy), he thought he was going to trade his gum-soled shoes for a life of luxury and leisure, but he soon discovers that Nora finds sleuthing both exciting and seductive. Now, this couple--with and a marriage as electric as an illicit affair and a banter as crisp as a glass of champagne--live, love and solve crimes with an unmatched sense of style.

  1. Pass the martinis darling, I need breakfast

    I hate to gush but this is an incredibly good film. I don't know if I've ever laughed harder at a non-slapstick movie. The characters are intensely believable and yet funnier than anyone I've ever met. The pacing is very modern, the plot is complicated yet very clear, and I felt like only half an hour had gone by when it ended. Other films I've seen from the thirties have felt like curiosities, but besides the decor and a couple of silent film gestures, I felt like I was watching a contemporary film that just happened to be in black and white. Nick and Nora are people you would want to know, although maybe not attend their parties at the risk of your liver. What a show! I'm definitely planning to watch the other five films as soon as possible.
