		Powell, naturally, is Nick, an ex-detective turned gentleman perfectly content to shun the adventure of sleuthing for the happy occupation of swilling cocktails and exchanging wisecracks with this lovely and lively wife Nora (Loy).
		Nick does a spit-take when Nora, whose boudoir is being searched by the police exclaims, “What’s that man doing in my drawers?” Secondary characters speak of affairs and promiscuity, and in once instance, crystal gazing.
		Nora rushes to him with towels in her arms as the invalid proclaims his wound “just a scratch.” The next morning finds Nick fit as a fiddle and whimsical too, as he plays with his Christmas presents while Nora looks on, an amused smirk on her face.

	The Thin Man - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		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 they easily solve crimes.
		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.
		The TV series starred Peter Lawford (who became a hot item then, because his wife's brother John F. Kennedy was the successful candidate in the presidential election of 1960) and Phyllis Kirk as Nick and Nora Charles.

	The Thin Man (1934)
		Nick remembers her also, since her divorced father was a former client - as she explains to her fiancee: "He once worked on a case with my father." She tells Nick that she is worried that her father is nowhere to be found, and has failed to notify her.
		Nick explains that he quit being a gumshoe detective four years earlier and prefers to be retired, in order to manage the private affairs of his newly-wed heiress wife - and presumably spend his inherited fortune.
		Nick is again reluctant to interrupt his Christmas vacation to help anyone, speak to reporters, or to get involved in the case in any way.

	The Musical World of Rocky Horror - Nick & Nora
		In NICK and NORA the answer is most definitely no, for it was the goal of the creators of the show to take characters both familiar to and beloved by audiences for sixty years and take another look at them from the perspective of the '90s.
		NICK and NORA is thus a mystery set against the story of a relationship; as Nick and Nora investigate a murder, they also investigate their marriage, working on the case and their personal problems simultaneously and solving both by the time the final curtain falls.
		NICK and NORA opened on December 8th, 1991 at the Marquis Theatre under the direction of James M. Nederlander, Terry Allen Kramer, and Harry J. Nederlander in association with Marvin I. Danton and Jesse Philips.

	The Thin Man Returns
		Nick and Nora Charles drink their way through a commentary on society, politics and media.
		Nick’s sarcastic retort was lost when he saw the snifter of brandy his wife cradled.
		Nick's prediction for the New Year is that fixed speed cameras will be a fact of life in Queensland by year's end but remember, it's all for your own good and the profligacy and ineptitude of the State Government has nothing to do with their need for revenue.

		Nick eventually exposes the wrongdoer and solves the puzzle, even if he is not quite so sure how he is going to do it until the time rolls around.
		Nora's rich, stuffy family disapprove of Nick, his disreputable friends, his outspoken sense of humor, and his sleuthing, but when Nora's cousin's husband goes missing, the family are quick to ask Nick to investigate.
		The train Nick and Nora take to Sycamore Springs is crowded with passengers, a wartime condition; one character in the film is described as having just been discharged from the army; a gun is emphasized that was a product of the war; and the denouement revolves around some military plans.

		And Nora seemed to prefer them too, though Loy was particularly adept at wrinkling her nose at the scruffier types who ended up sharing drinks with them in their hotel rooms or in fancy nightclubs.
		Nick gets involved in the search for a missing inventor (who was called the "thin man" when his elongated shadow appears onscreen during a scene) at the behest of his daughter, played by an overwrought Maureen O'Sullivan.
		Although Nick is a world-famous detective and has even given up booze (for the movie's duration, at least), he can't get any respect from his father, a doctor (played by Harry Davenport).

		Nick hasn't seen her since she was a little girl, but she tells him the Wynants divorced some time back and she would now like to visit her father, if she can find him.
		In the movie, Nick arranges a roundup of suspects at a dinner table and does one of those "one of you is the killer" speeches.

	What Would Nora Do?
		The Nora Charles written by Dashiell Hammett is said to have been based on the acerbic brunette Lillian Hellman...who was, according to many, appropriately named.
		Nora would go out and take the world by storm if necessary, but always with a blend of grace, humor, and remarkable style, as well as a touch of sarcasm, if it befit the time and the place.
		Nora chose to use it primarily as a tool, whether to win her point, get a laugh, or—better by far—both.

	Nick and Nora Charles
		Originally, Nick (a Greek-American whose father had changed his unpronounceable last name upon his arrival at Ellis Island) served as an ace operative for the Trans-American Detective Agency, but upon marriage to Nora, he retired to a life of leisure, content to manage Nora's rather sizable dowry.
		Nick and Nora first appeared in Hammett's 1934 novel, The Thin Man, and ever since, and especially after the films started coming out, folks started assuming (incorrectly) that Nick Charles is the Thin Man. In fact, the Thin Man is actually the murder victim in the novel.
		Nick and Nora's film popularity was continued for years on the radio with a succession of actors taking on Nick's part, while Claudia Morgan held steadfast and true as Nora.

		It appeared at the Marquis, and Arthur Laurents was the librettist and director, score by Charles Strouse and Richard Maltby, Jr.
		I was introduced to Nick and Nora in The Thin Man movie series of the 1930s and 1940s, starring Myrna Loy and William Powell.
		The subplot about Nora considering having an affair was so out of the character that it distracted from the Nick-Nora chemistry (which I thought was otherwise pretty good).

		The fifth Dashiell Hammett husband-and-wife, Nick and Nora Charles (William Powell and Myrna Loy), urban private detective team film in the successful "Thin Man" series is another good one--retaining their fast-paced witty dialogue, great chemistry together and clever plot twists.
		Through clever sleuthing Nick is ready to crack the case and invites to his parents' house all the parties involved, even remotely, in the multiple murders, and after summing up the case points his finger at the guilty party.
		The Nick and Nora Charles crime formula story works even in the sticks; Powell and Loy and their pet dog Asta leave their sophisticated home turf for a refreshing change of pace in hayseed country.

		Nick Charles (Powell) is a former gumshoe who's retired from the game to become a man of leisure with nothing more pressing on the agenda than watching over his wealthy wife Nora's (Loy) investments and walking the couple's wire fox terrier, Asta.
		Nick enters the movie at the bar where he is teaching a bevy of bartenders how to mix a proper martini, advising them that, "The important thing is the rhythm.
