It’s interesting what happens when you’re taking a break. Nick
Charles, a successful private detective who retired when Nora’s father died and
left them his money, tries very hard not to go back to detective work, but when
no one can figure out who the killer is, he’s the only one who can unveil the
truth.
At a Christmas party in the Charles’ home, a couple of
reporters asked Nora, “Is he working on a case?” She replied, “Yes. A case of Scotch.
Pitch in and help him.”
William Powell and Myrna Loy, who played Nick and Nora
Charles, began a series of Thin Man movies with this successful film about the
private detective and his very helpful wife. The chemistry between Loy and Powell
demanded attention and five more movies in this series. This film was a
surprise success since Myrna Loy’s previous roles were not such innocent,
playful wives. The duo brought their A-game to the films, and not surprisingly,
they keep gaining fans through the decades.
