  The Thin Man (1934)
The Thin Man (1934) is the first installment of a popular series of films casting a sophisticated, glamorous, pleasure-seeking, and urbane husband-wife detective team (William Powell and Myrna Loy as Nick and Nora Charles).
The story is taken from Dashiell Hammett's 1934 detective novel of the same name, with a married couple that was supposedly modeled on the author's relationship with longtime love and playwright Lillian Hellman.
As the film opens, an eccentric, tall, wealthy businessman/inventor named Clyde Wynant (Edward Ellis) - the "thin man" of the film title, is in his inventor's workshop - viewed first as a silhouette cast on a wall.

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.

It is common wisdom that the Thin Man sequels adhere to the law of diminishing returns, and while none of the follow-ups reach the diamond level of the first film, all afford pleasures.
The Thin Man series is so different than the majority of comedy films these days that rely on cliches or worse yet, cheap gross humor to get a laugh.
Watching the "Thin Man" series is like taking a trip back in time, to the high society of the 1930s, and staying with the wittiest pair of sophisticates imaginable.

Like the previous Thin Man films, the script was written by four-time Oscar nominees Frances Goodrich and Albert Hackett, but it was their final contribution to the series.

Meine Erfahrungen: MGM was not entirely enthusiastic about 1934's THE THIN MAN and even less so about the casting of Myrna Loy as Nora Charles--and director W.S. "Woody" Van Dyke was determined to have her the studio gave in with poor grace.
Directed by Richard Thorpe, the 1945 THE THIN MAN GOES HOME suffered from an incredibly weak script; although the film is amusing in its way it is a clinker in comparison with the other films in the series.
A Lux Radio version of THE THIN MAN is entertaining, but it needs a significant remaster, and an episode from the later television series based on the films can only be described as fairly dire.

First sequel After the Thin Man (1936) is very good, with the couple in San Francisco and a supporting part for rising player James Stewart.
The scenery moves again, to Long Island, for the rather impudently-titled Another Thin Man (1939), which adds baby Nick, Jr., to the mix (a "bad idea," thought Pauline Kael, perhaps a sign of the domestication of the series).
Shadow of the Thin Man (1941) sets the action around a racetrack, and is the last of the series to be directed by the fast-working Van Dyke.

The Thin Man is the title of the first of six comic detective films starring William Powell and Myrna Loy as Nick and Nora Charles, a hard-drinking and flirtatious married couple who banter wittily as easily as they solve crimes.
Their dog, the Wire-Haired Fox Terrier, Asta, played by Skippy, was also a popular character.
The "Thin Man" of the title was actually the murder victim, but the name was thought by virtually everyone to refer to Nick Charles, and it was used in the titles of the sequels, although no one ever called him that.

Val Lewton's name is synonymous with the subtlest, most mysterious brand of horror filmmaking in Hollywood's golden age, and the nine horror classics he produced at RKO between 1942 and 1946 constitute the most remarkable cycle of creativity in B-movie history.
The title is so lurid that the heroine-narrator (Frances Dee) must shrug it off with her very first words, yet the movie is an amazingly delicate and poetic piece of spellbinding--nothing less than a reworking of Jane Eyre on a voodoo island in the Caribbean.
Although on one level this is the Lewton film that veers closest to conventional mystery-suspense, there's no end of unsettling ambiguity (another fl panther on the loose!) and hints of occultism and religious mania.
