 | | With The Thin Man, Loy would permanently puncture her image as "bad girl" with her sprightly handling of the comic material, along with Powell's deft turn in both the comic and more serious aspects of the story (although after the third film the serious aspects would be pared down). |
 | | In The Thin Man (1934, 91 mins.), when gold-digger Julia Wolf is murdered, and her boyfriend, inventor and "thin man" Clyde Wynant disappears, Nick Charles, who has retired from sleuthing to rest on his wife's money, is pressed into play by Wynant's daughter, Dorothy (Maureen O'Sullivan). |
 | | Another Thin Man offers one of the strongest stories of the series, and one of the funniest as well: i.e., when one of the policemen questioning Nora tells her the names of some of Nick's former girlfriends, she starts using their names as aliases. |
