Undoubtedly some of the most witty and urbane films of Hollywood's Golden Age, the six movies that composed MGM's Thin Man series showcased a pair of wealthy, inebriated detectives who solve murders in their down time. Through the series' run from 1934 to 1947, William Powell and Myrna Loy turned Nick and Nora Charles into a cinematic institution, showcasing a marriage that was sexy, funny, and exciting, whether there was a gun pointed at them at any given moment or not. Thoughts On The Thin Man reflects on these famous films, looking back at Dashiell Hammett's original inspiration, the genesis of the films, and the men and women who made them possible. This collection of essays covers all six movies, including detailed plot breakdowns, quotes, trivia, discussion of motifs, looks at the many spin-offs of the series, a couple of nostalgic odes, and even drinking games, including a custom cocktail devoted to the duo. Would you expect any less?
