The Thin Man
91 minutes - 1931
Directed by W. S. Van Dyke
Starring William Powell, Myrna Loy, Maureen O'Sullivan, and Cesar Romero
Grab a martini! Nick and Nora Charles cordially invite you to bring your own alibi to The Thin Man, the jaunty whodunit that made William Powell and Myrna Loy the champagne elite of sleuthing. Bantering in the boudoir, enjoying walks with beloved dog Asta or matching each other highball for highball and clue for clue, they combined screwball romance with mystery. The resulting triumph nabbed four Academy Award nominations and spawned FIVE sequels.
