	The Seattle Times: Movies: Make a date with sexy, sassy, swell "Thin Man"
		William Powell and Myrna Loy as Nick and Nora Charles in "The Thin Man." The Charles' playful, bantering relationship is loads of fun in the original 1934 film and the five that followed.
		I saw "The Thin Man" for the first time at the Neptune (if memory serves) about 20 years ago and fell hopelessly in love with it; since then, I've probably watched it a few dozen more times.
		In the "Thin Man" movies, she's the Ginger to Powell's smooth Fred — an unruffled, pert-nosed charmer, smart as fresh paint, who gave as good as she got.

	The Thin Man (1934)
		I don’t think I’d seen Thin Man or any of its sequels before I got this DVD, and I went into it with the preconceived notion that Nick and Nora were a detective team.
		Thin Man comes chock fill of similar moments, all of which make it a consistent gas to watch.
		The Thin Man appears in an aspect ratio of 1.33:1 on this single-sided, single-layered DVD; due to those dimensions, the image has not been enhanced for 16X9 televisions.

		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.

		Enthusiasts of Plastic Man speak of Cole's talent with hushed and respectful tones, and Cole's work remains as fresh, as surprising, as amusing, and as awe-inspiring as it was when it first came out.
		Now, neither Nick nor Nora Charles were actually the Thin Man--that was the bad guy in Hammett's book--but the name quickly became linked with Nick and Nora, just as Powell and Loy, both stars in their own rights, became irrevocably linked with the Thin Man movie franchise.
		Of course, an advanced civilization would not subject an unconscious man to operation via electronic rays because the subject was "not perfect." If the 1998 reader needed any reminding that the Thin Man was the creation of a very different time and place, that little moment would provide it.

		That's certainly the case in "The Thin Man" (1934), a murder mystery in which the murder and the mystery are insignificant compared to the personal styles of the actors.
		That "The Thin Man" cost so little and looks so good is possibly because the interiors are simple and elegant, and the fl and white photography flatters the loungewear and formalwear worn by a great-looking cast (which in addition to Powell and Loy, included Maureen O'Sullivan and a young Cesar Romero).
		Although Dashiell Hammett was known for hard-boiled fiction, and John Huston's 1941 film of Hammett's The Maltese Falcon was one of the first examples of film noir, "The Thin Man" is essentially a drawing-room comedy with dead bodies.

		The other characters in The Thin Man, while they could have just been window dressing for Powell and Loy, given their inflated screen presence's, are just the opposite: well crafted and distinctive characters.
		However, it was the perfect husband/wife relationship that caused The Thin Man to become such a commercial success that it generated an amazing five sequels, all of which had Powell and Loy reprising their roles as the Charles'.
		The only thing that prevented The Thin Man from capturing the 'Perfect Whodunit' title, was its occasionally unfocused examination of the crime at hand, but, as it stands, is still a wonderfully enjoyable film to see.

	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.

	After The Thin Man: The Complete Thin Man Collection (1936)
		Set in the glamorous world of 1930s upper-class Manhattan, The Thin Man and its sequels established the standard for witty comedy, clever dialogue and urbane one upmanship.
		I must admit After the Thin Man comes as a disappointment to me. I expected a project that offered similar cleverness and creativity compared to its predecessor, but I found a flick with little of the same spark.
		I thought the monaural soundtrack of After the Thin Man was pretty similar to the audio for the original film.

	The Thin Man - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Thin Man is a 1933 mystery novel by Dashiell Hammett.
		It was his last novel and the basis for the successful film series which began with The Thin Man, as well as a television series in the 1950s.
		In all later adaptations, the assumption that the "thin man" is Nick Charles is unquestioned, even though he is not particularly thin.

		The success of The Thin Man spawned a litter of sequels, including After the Thin Man (featuring a young James Stewart), Another Thin Man (in which a baby is added to the Charles family), Shadow of the Thin Man, The Thin Man Goes Home, and Song of the Thin Man.
		THE THIN MAN is a landmark film in so many ways that it is difficult to over-estimate either its impact or its brilliance.
		However, in the original novel and in this movie the Thin Man refers to Clyde Wynant, a somewhat absent-minded inventor, the chief suspect in what turns out to be three murders, and someone who only actually appears in the first 15 minutes of the film, never to be seen afterwards.

		The Thin Man again appeared in magazine form in (of all places) the February, 15, 1936 issue of Australian Women's Weekly.

		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.
		Another Thin Man (1939) and Shadow of the Thin Man (1941) lack the edge of the first two films but the Charles at their weakest are better than most murder mysteries..
		The Thin Man Goes Home (1944), which had Nick and Nora visiting Nick's parents is the 'turkey' in the series, a folksy trip similar to an Andy Hardy movie.

		The story is strictly programmer material, but what makes THE THIN MAN an enduring film today is the interplay between Powell and Loy, one of the first happily married couples ever to flicker on a screen.
		The repartee they shoot back and forth is priceless, such as in one scene the morning after a gunman had broken into their suite and superficially wounded Powell before being subdued and hauled away.
		The pair proved so popular that they were teamed no less than twelve times during their careers, six of the pairings coming in the THIN MAN series, which would continue with increasingly diminishing success for 13 years.

		I consider the husband of Nora to be a man because he has integrity and honour and treats people with respect.

	The Thin Man (film) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Thin Man was 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.
		Also appearing in the film were Maureen O'Sullivan, Nat Pendleton, Minna Gombell, Cesar Romero, Porter Hall, Henry Wadsworth, William Henry, Harold Huber and Natalie Moorhead.
		The "Thin Man" of the title was actually the lead suspect, 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.
