The Thin Man (1934 Woody Van Dyke)

Produced by Hunt Stromberg, the Goodrich-Hackett script of Dashiell Hammett's detective story endeared the public to the first really successful husband-and-wife combo of Myrna Loy and William Powell (and Asta). It's actually quite a complex fable, but no one's really paying that much attention.

Maureen O'Sullivan, Nat Pendleton, Minna Gombell, Porter Hall, henry Wadsworth, William henry, Harold Huber. Cesar Romero, Natalie Moorhead, Edward Brophy, Edward Ellis.

"Keeks!"


Good one for the obscure screen shots

Photographed by James Wong Howe. Gorgeously entertaining.

Nick: "How'd you like Grant's tomb?"
Nora: "It's lovely. I'm having a copy made for you."
