The Complete Thin Man Collection (The Thin Man / After the Thin Man / Another Thin Man / Shadow of the Thin Man / The Thin Man Goes Home / Song of the Thin Man)

Amazon.com

Almost as welcome as a shaker full of martinis, The Complete Thin Man Collection represents an eagerly awaited DVD milestone for fans of the fizzy MGM movie series. The best film in the series came first: The Thin Man (1934), W.S. Van Dyke's marvelous adaptation of a Dashiell Hammet novel. The movie gods were in a generous mood when they paired William Powell and Myrna Loy as Nick and Nora Charles, the upper-class sophisticates whose sleuthing escapades somehow joined the classic form of the whodunit with the giddyup of screwball comedy. Among the series' many attributes, one of its most radical notions was the idea that a married couple might find each other delightful and view life as a goofy adventure together.

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. There's the cocktail-swilling chemistry of Powell and Loy, for one thing, as well as the considerable satisfaction of average movies made during the studio system: the craftsmanship of studio hands, and a gallery of terrific character actors filling in supporting roles. First sequel After the Thin Man (1936) is very good, with the couple in San Francisco and a supporting part for rising player James Stewart. The scenery moves again, to Long Island, for the rather impudently-titled Another Thin Man (1939), which adds baby Nick, Jr., to the mix (a "bad idea," thought Pauline Kael, perhaps a sign of the domestication of the series).

Shadow of the Thin Man (1941) sets the action around a racetrack, and is the last of the series to be directed by the fast-working Van Dyke. The Thin Man Goes Home (1944) finds Nick escorting family to his parents' house for a visit. Song of the Thin Man (1947) engagingly adds a jazz milieu to the Charles's detective work; at this point, Nick, Jr. was played by child star Dean Stockwell. The series stuck with certain staples: the unveiling of the guilty party, a wirehaired terrier named Asta (who became a star in its own right), and booze. When Nick opines, in the first film, that a dry martini should always be shaken to "waltz time," you know why audiences fell in love with these guilt-free comedies. --Robert Horton

Description

The sparkling series featured the irresistible William Powell and Myrna Loy chemistry as husband and wife sleuths who solved murders with the aid of their wire-haired terrier, Asta. 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. The 7-Disc set includes THE THIN MAN, AFTER THE THIN MAN, ANOTHER THIN MAN, SHADOW OF THE THIN MAN, SONG OF THE THIN MAN, THE THIN MAN GOES HOME, and the ALIAS NICK & NORA bonus documentary disc.

Finally!.......2007-09-01

I've been a fan of The Thin Man series since I was a kid. I fantasized about growing up and living the life of Nick and Nora. With a fabulous marriage, martinis, cigarettes, and lavish parties. Of course reality turned out to be bitter singlehood, beer, and falling asleep while watching TV...but I still enteratin the dream!

As much as I love the movies, I find the plot secondary to watching Nick and Nora. William Powell and Myrna Loy are phenomenal and play off each other beautifully. They rate as my all time favorite fictional couple and on-screen duo.

Brilliant!.......2007-09-01

I haven't even watched the DVDs. I've been an avid Thin Man fan since I first saw the original.

Fun and Intelligent.......2007-07-31

While the first is still the best of the series....all were very well written and are just a fun time. The witty banter and asides from this duo hold up very well, and generally are more entertaining than most of what is out today.

all together.......2007-07-29

If you like the thin man movies this is the way to get all of them at once. These are great movies. Nick, Nora & Asta all together.

The Complete Thin Man Collection.......2007-07-23

This is a great collection of Thin Man movies. We highly recommend these movies to everyone. It is a must have and must watch collection.

The intoxicating chemistry and repartee between the oft-teamed William Powell and Myrna Loy as Nick and Nora Charles--America's favorite soused detectives--is fully 100-proof in the marvelously witty Thin Man movies. You simply won't find more delightful movie company than Nick and Nora. The title, of course, refers not to Nicky the dick, but to the mysteriously missing scientist he and his lovely partner set out to find. Powell and Loy deliver their sparkling dialog with giddy enthusiasm (and occasionally slurred speech) in this rapid-fire, three-martini suspense comedy directed by famously speedy W.S. Van Dyke and adapted from the novel by Dashiell Hammett. 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. --Jim Emerson

Description

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 AwardO nominations* (including Best Picture) and spawned five sequels. Credit W.S. "Woody" Van Dyke for recognizing that Powell and Loy were ideal together and for getting the studio's okay by promising to shoot this splendid adaptation of Dashiell Hammett's novel in three weeks. He took 12 days. They didn't call him "One-Take Woody" for nothing.

"I Was Just a Gleam In My Father's Eye..." The True Best Picture of 1934!.......2007-09-12

It is rare to find films this old that age well but although I was born decades after the first release of this film, I found myself thoroughly enjoying it and actually laughing at most of the jokes too! There are many memorable scenes and lines my favourite of which is in the title to this review but this the grandfather of "Remington Steel" and "Moonlighting" is a worthy addition to any film buff's library.

The transfer to DVD is also very well done when compared to other DVDs of films from the 1930s as the sound and visual quality is very good too considering that the sound is from a mono source. I like the good pace that the film plays out to and the camera angles are truly inspired proving Woody Van Dyke to be an underrated director who should have won the Best Director award over Frank Capra that year. At a time when women did not have the "rights" or social standing as they do today, it was very refreshing to watch Myrna Loy's character as she proves to be the mental equal of her husband, Bill Powell's character frequently coming up on top during their frequent and entertaining verbal repartees. It has been suggested that the characters of Nick and Nora Charles were based upon writer Dashiell Hammett and his long time lover Lillian Hellman.

Unfortunately, the Special Features of this DVD are sparse and are really nothing to shout about but for the quality of the overall content, this makes this DVD good value of money nevertheless and is a great screwball romantic comedy that ages very well and is still enjoyable by audiences today.

Highly recommended!

Fast and furious detective farce.......2007-09-01

In between drinks and one-liners the action comes fast and furious as the former detective Nick Charles reluctedly becomes involved in murder and dispppearance involving a famous inventor. A grade "A" detective movie people will see again and again.

Everything Great About the Movies.......2007-07-02

This is not only one of the great films of the 1930's, but one of the best and most beloved films in the history of the movies. It spawned a series of "A" pictures which kept the quality just as high and the moviegoing public couldn't get enough of Dashiell Hammett's Nick and Nora Charles. Perhaps because those sequels were so good it is easy to forget just how spectacular was "The Thin Man."

William Powell and Myrna Loy sparkled as the a couple living the lush life and having fun being married. Nick (Powell) had been a celebrated detective who enjoyed drinking martinis as much as solving crimes, so when his wife Nora (Loy) inherited a fortune he opted for more of the former and less of the latter. Nora, who enjoyed martinis as well, had a nose for mystery, however, and couldn't wait for an opportunity to drag a somewhat tight Nick into a case.

It became a formula repeated for decades but only on rare occasions did anything in the movies come close to the style and sophistication of the original source. The screenplay of Albert Hackett and Francis Goodrich perfectly captured the contrast of Hammett's wonderful couple and their dog Asta against the backdrop of murder. Their banter is legendary and was at its zenith in director W.S. Van Dyke's introduction to mystery's favorite couple.

Set during the Christmas season, "The Thin Man" works as a mystery, a sophisticated marital comedy, and a holiday film. James Wong Howe's photography and William Axt's delightful score added just the right touch for a great cast, most notably a lovely young Maureen O'Sullivan. The actual storyline is quite dark and seemy when one stopped to think about it, but the pace was so quick and the tone so playful that audiences were too busy being entertained to do so.

The story involves the rich and eccentric father of Dorothy (O'Sullivan) disappearing suddenly. Nick, who knows her father, and just about every other oddball or criminal in the funny papers gets dragged into the search when his mistress gets murdered and everyone seems to think he's working the case. A couple of murders and several hundred shakers of martinis later, Nick gathers all the suspects together at a dinner party and solves the case.

Everything between the opening credits and the closing is a sheer delight that will make you remember how much fun it can be going to the movies. There is a bit more set-up here than in the films that followed as the actual solving of the mystery was as important as the fun Nick and Nora were having while doing it. Afterwards the focus would be shifted to the fun with the mysteries being secondary.

This easily ranks as one of the top ten films ever made. For sheer entertainment, it is absolutely unbeatable. Just like those Americans jamming into packed theatres to see it upon its first release, those seeing it for the first time will long for more. Fortunately, there are more, and nearly just as good. A film for anyone who loves the movies.

Carefree Cheer with the Charles's.......2007-06-08

A man is working in his laboratory and is interrupted when his daughter Dorothy arrives. Mr. Wynant has an invention that must be kept secret. He discovers that $50,000 in government bonds is missing from his safe. He asks his secretary and girl friend Julia Wolf to return the money, then walks off into the dark night and disappears. Later his daughter Dorothy asks Nick Charles to find her father. Nora drops by with her dog Asta. Wynant's lawyer McCauley doesn't know where he is, but has been sending money. The ex-Mrs. Wynant goes to see Julia Wolf, but she won't be seeing anyone. The police begin to question the people who are involved. The film shows the carefree life of the rich during the Depression. Life is nothing but fun even at a hectic Christmas get-together. Nick drinks as if his life depended on it. [Product placement?]

Nick does not investigate the Julia Wolf murder, but the people involved all come to see him. Nick goes along with Lt. Gill to talk to Arthur Nunheim; he ducks out to avoid talking, but afterwards he will talk to nobody. The police are looking for the missing Wynant. [There is some double-entendre between Nick and Nora.] Nick goes to Wynant's closed shop to investigate at night. Nick digs around and finds a clue, following Asta's interest. They estimate height and weight from the clothes - a big man at least 250 lbs. Nick observes something in one of the bones. Do skeletons all look alike? Not to forensic anthropologists today, or even then.

The conventions of murder mysteries was to gather all the suspects while the detective explains how he solved the murder. So they are all invited to dinner. Nick tells why Wynant didn't kill Julia Wolf or Nunheim. The murderer must be sitting around the dinner table! When this is over Mr. & Mrs. Charles return to San Francisco by Pullman train, luxury travel that is gone forever. [The success of this film began a series that continued for years.]

One of the classics and a delightful diversion.......2007-05-13

This, the first Thin Man, is one of the most beloved of the old time movies, and watching it for the first time since I was a child--I'm sure I saw it in the fifties at one of those three features, a cartoon and Movietone for a dime theaters, but remember nothing--it's not hard to see why. The chemistry between William Powell and Myrna Loy (Nick and Nora Charles) is effervescent, bubbly and delicious. It is obvious they are in love and take such joy in each other's company while teasing each other in a most delightful way. You will just love the way Asta, their dog (who is quite a star in this movie himself) covers his eyes in the final scene--such a delicate dog with such delicate feelings! (Actually I understand that all dogs in movies in those days at least were females for reasons that might be imagined.)

The movie starts a little slow by modern standards, like a stage play, but becomes increasingly enthralling, until suddenly it is over, and YES, let's do a sequel! And they did, six of them, but, well, sequels may or may not be as good as the original. In this case, I understand they weren't and I'm not surprised. It would be hard to achieve something like The Thin Man again. Everything just fell into place, the plot was agreeable and clever, the lesser characters quirky and intriguing, the direction by W.S. "One Take Woody" Van Dyke smooth and focused, and the twenties going on the thirties (but not really) atmosphere was authentic with the rich holding lavish dinner parties and drinking way too much, especially Nick Charles (Powell) who complained that sleuthing caused him to get behind in his drinking.

The witty dialogue comes first from Dashiell Hammett's novel and then from Albert Hackett who adapted the script. Hackett was just getting warmed up. He wrote his first script in 1931 (something called Up Pops the Devil) and his last for The Father of the Bride Part II in 1995 at the age of 95!--well, he got partial credit for that script which was morphed out of his 1951 script for Father's Little Dividend and the original Father of the Bride (1951).

By the way, I always imagined that "the thin man" was the detective Nick Charles, but actually the thin man is Clyde Wynant, the eccentric inventor played by Edward Ellis who goes missing after the first reel. However, everybody thought the same thing, so in the sequels, the thin man is the detective!

One of the reasons the repartee between Nick and Nora is so great is that it was taken (somewhat) from real life exchanges between Hammett and his longtime live-together girl friend the celebrated playwright, Lillian Hellman.

Anybody with any pretension of knowing Hollywood films has seen this. See it yourself if you haven't. It's a delight and will take you back to a time full of styles so very different from those of today.

Great opening song..In the Garden. I am pleased he still regards Jesus Christ as his "hero". Amazing to see how he leads the band..especially on the opening of "Knocking on Heavens Door". Fantastic guitar playing on "I'm only bleeding". One of the best live concerts on DVD. Where are the other songs he did at this concert?

Product Description

Nick and Nora Charles are looking forward to a day of leisure, but when they make a trip to the race track, they learn that a jockey, who was recently accused of throwing a race, has just been found shot to death. With his friend Lieutenant Abrams in charge of the case, Nick has difficulty keeping from getting involved. Then a special state deputy, in charge of investigating gambling scandals, comes to see Nick. He tells Nick that the jockey could have been silenced by a gambling syndicate, and he asks for Nick's help. Soon Nick is fully involved in a complicated and hazardous investigation

An amusing murder mystery at the racetrack, with Nick and Nora Charles...and a waiter who insists they order the sea bass.......2007-06-06

"You know that jockey, Gomez," says Lieutenant Abrams (Sam Levene) to Nick and Nora Charles (William Powell and Myrna Loy) as the two arrive at the racetrack for a little betting, "the one who was caught throwing the fourth race yesterday? He was shot." "My," says Nora, "they're strict at this track." And we're off on the fourth of the Nick and Nora Charles Thin Man series. The mystery isn't bad. The Powell-Loy chemistry is just as fine as always, and the characters...well, Nick remains the suave, gentleman private detective, fond of martinis and double-breasted suits, clever at putting puzzles together, and a man who seems to know everyone from distinguished officials to Rainbow Benny, a racetrack tout. Nora, his wealthy, socialite wife, remains most of the time a skeptical, affectionate, funny helpmate who can match her husband's martini intake whenever she chooses. However, slowly the series is turning Nora into a more conventional wife and mother. In Shadow of the Thin Man, the writers have Nora sometimes just being a ditzy, adoring wife. Myrna Loy makes it work, but some of Nora's smartness and wit have been dumbed down.

Nick agrees to look into the death of the jockey, but then another shooting takes place, this time of Whitey Barrow, a corrupt reporter who is in cahoots with a ring of racketeers who are making a fortune on racetrack gambling. When the dignified Major Jason Scully, hired by the track commission to clean up the situation, and Paul Clark, a young, crusading reporter, visit Nick and try to enlist his services, he turns them down. He's got too much on his hands already with Nora and their three-year-old son, Nick, Jr. That second murder makes him change his mind. Before long he's up to his waist in suspects. There's Link Stephens, the tough smoothie who runs the syndicate and who is weak around the edges; Fred Main, his wise-guy enforcer; Claire Porter, Stephen's upper-class girl friend; and Baku, her chauffeur. There is even a ticket seller to be suspicious of. Plus, just maybe Paul Clark (Barry Nelson) isn't as honest as he seems, especially since his girlfriend, Molly (Donna Reed), works for Stephens. It all comes together, of course, with a big meeting of all the suspects, with Nick taking apart the case clue by clue until the murderer is unmasked. This time, Nora does a bit of heroics that ends with a loving smooch by our favorite couple, with Asta the dog covering its eyes with a paw.

The movie features three genuinely funny set pieces. First up is Nick and Nora at a crowded wrestling match. It's reassuring to see that professional wrestling hasn't advanced an inch in more than 65 years when it comes to the need for great acting ability. Next is the merry-go-round where Nick has to prove that he's not a scaredy-cat to a group of sneering tykes. And finally is a classic that should be revived, where the waiter at Mario's Grotto is determined Nick and Nora and their two guests will all order the sea bass. He will not take broiled lobster as an answer.

And let's spend a moment with Stella Adler, who plays Claire Porter. She was 40 when she made this movie. She was born into one of the leading Yiddish theater families in New York, and became a star in Yiddish theater in the Twenties. In the Thirties she joined the Group Theater, became a star on Broadway, went to the Soviet Union to study under Stanislavsky himself, and returned to become one of America's great drama teachers, as well as an actor and director. Adler never made much of an impression in Hollywood; she spent most of her life in New York. She taught and mentored Marlon Brando and was the single most important influence on his acting career. She died, honored and full of years, in 1992. Just watch her as Porter, a lush, well-bred blonde with a voice as cultured as clotted cream. Except that Claire had been a professional woman, as in the oldest profession. When Claire loses her temper, she loses her culture, her class and her accent. Nick finds this out. Adler handles the role with aplomb, and her instant transformation from cultured to common is something to see.

The black and white DVD transfer is excellent. There is one noteworthy extra, a 20-minute dramatic short based on Poe's Tell-Tale Heart. It was Jules Dassin's first job as a director. It's creepy and it's first-rate.

"Baby, you've arrived!".......2007-05-26

The most fun and sophisticated series in the history of film continued with Maj. W.S. Van Dyke's 1941 entry, Shadow of the Thin Man. William Powell was back, of course, as Dashiell Hammett's greatest creation, Nick Charles. Myrna Loy was back as his better half, and needless to say a shaker of martinis and a lot of witty banter was sure to follow as Nick and Nora got involved in yet another murder mystery. Nora has a new du in this one and is cuter than she's ever been. Nick is busy in the park reading a fairy tale to Nicky Jr. which sounds suspiciously like a racing form, and it isn't long before Nick and "Mummy" are off to the track.

A jockey has just been murdered by the time they arrive with a police escort and it appears to be tied in with a gambling syndicate. Nick does his best to avoid getting roped into real work but when another murder occurs at a wrestling match and a reporter who's an acquaintance of theirs is fingered for the job, Nick sort of saunters into action. A third murder occurs before Nick can get it all sorted out and when Nora gets one of the clues first, a trap is set for the killer. Nora is adorable and she ends up "saving" Nick's life once the denouement scene rolls around.

An attractive cast of MGM players which includes a funny turn by Louise Beavers as the Charles' maid and a very young and pretty Donna Reed as the girlfriend of the accused, make this one easy to watch. Nick gathers the suspects all together as usual, and it's quite a suprise when he fingers the real killer. A gun hidden in a drain pipe, an expensive bracelet used as payment for blackmail and a ledger worth killing for all play a part in the mystery portion of this one.

But the Thin Man films were always about how much fun the audience could have watching Nick and Nora interact as she pushed Nick into action, drink in hand. There is a very funny scene where Nick is shamed by little Nick into drinking a glass of--gulp--milk! Both Nick and Asta get dizzy on a carousel and Asta starts a brawl in a restaurant as this entry moves along at a nice pace. And I'd be remiss not to mention a turtle race on a bar counter which adds to the fun.

All of the five films which followed the original masterpiece were charming and witty fun and there has never been anything that even came close to equaling them as entertainment. They were wildly popular during their day and even more so today, as Hollywood seems to have forgotten what made going to the movies great. The public hasn't, however, which is why films like this one are such a fun breath of fresh air. A great one to own and watch over and over.

This is the fourth "Thin Man" film in the series.
Another who-done-it mystery for Nick Castle (William Powell) and his wife Nora (Myrna Loy) to solve. A horse jockey, Goldez, was shot in the shower. They say he threw a race yesterday.
According to Major Sculley (Henry O'Neill) and reporter Paul (Barry Nelson), the deceased jockey was a witness to a gambling racket.
So once again, Nick and Nora are hot on the trail of the killer. Even Asta the dog (Skippy) finds a couple clues.
Nick Jr. (Dickie Hall) tries to get his father to drink milk.

Also in the cast: Donna Reed, Sam Levene, Noel Cravat. Duke York played "Valentine".

W.S. Van Dyke, director of the first four "Thin Man" films committed suicide, February 5, 1943 at the age of 53.

DVD includes in Special Features, Theatrical trailer, 19-minute short "Edgar Allan Poe's 'The Tell-Tale Heart'", MGM Technicolor cartoon "The Goose Goes South".

The next film is: THE THIN MAN GOES HOME (1944).

One Glaring Flaw.......2006-06-17

Entertaining and charming as this movie is I found one very annoying and puzzling flaw. During the inevitable and formulaic "gathering of the suspects and revealing the killer" scenes, there seems to be the inclusion of what can only be called an editing mistake. I had to watch the ending several times to make sure it was not just my lack of concentration. The police inspector, in response to the killer grabbing a gun after being "outed", pulls his gun and fires off two shots. In the very next cut Nora attacks the killer to disarm him, but no one reacts to the shots fired, no one is hit, and no one acknowledges that it even happened. What's up with that?

Nick and Nora Charles Investigate a West Coast Gambling Racket........2006-03-22

"Shadow of the Thin Man" (1941) is the 4th movie in the "Thin Man" series directed by W. S. Van Dyke, and the first to which author Dashiell Hammett and screenwriters Frances Goodrich and Albert Hacket did not contribute. The new screenwriters, Irving Brecher and Harry Kurnitz, give us a typically convoluted mystery with a big cast of suspects, including many colorful underworld characters, and an unpredictable outcome. The Charles family is back in San Francisco with "baby", Nicky, Jr., now a headstrong 3-year-old. Nick (William Powell) and Nora (Myrna Loy) Charles' day at the races is sidetracked by a jockey's apparent murder. Police Lieutenant Abrams (Sam Levene) tries to rope Nick, who would rather be betting the horses, into the case. When reporter Whitey Barrow (Alan Baxter), a professional white-washer for mobster Link Stevens (Loring Smith), is also shot to death, and the murder is blamed on Nick's friend Paul Clark (Barry Nelson), Nick enters the fray to solve the case.

Although William Powell and Myrna Loy have a certain warm chemistry between them, no writer since Dashiell Hammett in his original "The Thin Man" novel has succeeded in giving Nick and Nora Charles that loving, irreverent wit that made 1934's "The Thin Man" so memorable. Nora was always a little wide-eyed, but "Shadow of the Thin Man" marginalizes her more than the previous films. She's a pretty, rich hausfrau but lacks good lines. The mystery is very much in the style of the previous "Thin Man" movies, but the banter is a bit dull and self-consciously precious. This film falls down in the dialogue department, and the slow- and fast-motion shots of Asta the dog, intended for comic effect, are ill-advised. But "Shadow of the Thin Man" still works as light entertainment, owing to Powell and Loy's likability and an interesting supporting cast. In fact, the supporting cast is more memorable than the detectives in this one.

Description

It's New Year's Eve, Nick and Nora Charles have returned to the West Coast, and the philandering hubby of Nora's cousin has gone missing. Round up the unusual suspects. The stars (plus the four-footed one!), writers and director of The Thin Man reunite for a giddy second comedy whodunit. Myrna Loy is Nora, who by all accounts doesn't scold, doesn't nag and looks far too pretty in the morning. William Powell is Nick, retired from sleuthing but hardly retiring when it comes to a case more scrambled than the 3 A.M. eggs he whips up. And rising star James Stewart leads a tip-top supporting cast. "This is a fine way to start the New Year," Nick says as he springs Nora from lockup. Indeed, it is.

"You wouldn't know them darling. They're respectable.".......2007-06-05

"Did I ever tell you you're the most fascinating woman this side of the Rockies?" -- Nick

"Wait'll you see my other side." -- Nora

William Powell and Myrna Loy returned as Nick and Nora Charles for the first time since "The Thin Man" and set the tone for all the entries in thie most heralded series in film history. "After the Thin Man" was a class "A" production from MGM, with W.S. Van Dyke at the helm and a good screenplay based on an original Hammett story. Nick is drinking his way to San Fransisco as he and Nora ride the rails, first class, shortly after wrapping up the celerated "Thin Man" case.

Onboard the Sunset Limited Nick and Nora pick up right where they left off, and audiences could make believe that two years hadn't passed since they'd fallen in love with the fun-loving couple with a nose for murder. The mystery in this one doesn't quite have the zip of the original, but MGM knew it was the delicious banter of Nick and Nora, placed between scotch and martinis, which audiences were thirsting for. Those fun and charming exchanges are plentiful as Nick reluctantly gets tangled up with a murder on Nora's side of the isle.

There is a fine cast but the story plays second fiddle to Nick and Nora ringing in the New Year while a jealous Asta watches over Mrs. Asta and a litter of puppies. Three murders will occur before Nick gathers all the suspects together hoping someone will slip up and give themselves away in this one. While it takes a bit too long to get there, it's so entertaining no one has had the heart to complain about it in over 70 years.

Everything was top-drawer in this series, from the art direction of Cedric Gibbons to Nacio Herb Brown and Arthur Freed's song, "Smoke Dreams." There is some fun news at the end which teased fans with more to come from Nick and Nora and we still can't get enough of our favorite mystery couple decades later. Fun to watch, and what the movies are all about.

Darling, you have the nicest relatives.......2007-05-11

Dashiell Hammett only ever wrote one novel about Nick and Nora Charles, the wealthy hubby-and-wife detectives. But of course that didn't stop Hollywood from producing a string of Nick-and-Nora mysteries.

The first of these sequels was the solid sequel "After the Thin Man," which takes place only a few days after the original "Thin Man." While it's not as spellbindingly twisty as its predecessor, it is a genuinely good, suspenseful mystery, full of humour and

Nick (William Powell) and Nora (Myrna Loy) are just returning to New York, when they get a call from Nora's bossy Aunt Katherine (Jessie Ralph), who orders them to come over for New Year's Eve. The decrepit, snobby relatives all despise "Nich-o-las," but they aren't above asking him to find Cousin Selma's golddigging husband Robert (Alan Marshal). Nick and Nora manage to track him down -- only a few hours before he's found dead in the street.

Unsurprisingly, Selma (Elissa Landi) is the primary suspect -- although Robert's girlfriend, her lover and her hubby are also prime suspects, as is the gangster he's blackmailing. Though Nick swore "no more cases," he finds himself searching for the clues that could set Selma free -- but which of the people who wanted to kill Robert actually did it?

Sure, without Hammett's story behind it, the story is never quite as brilliant as "The Thin Man." But with that out of the way, "After the Thin Man" is a remarkably seamless and entertaining sequel -- the leads crack wise again and again. And there's even a funny subplot about poor Asta being cuckolded by a Mrs. Asta and very fast Scottie.

The dialogue is fast and sparkling ("We wanna go someplace to get the taste of respectability out of our mouths!"), and the action all takes play in fun nightclubs, stuffy old rich homes, and the sleek mansion where Nick and Nora sleep all day. And the mystery is definitely baffling, with all sorts of oblique clues and personal secrets -- and a murderer whose identity definitely comes as a shock.

Loy and Powell have the same champagne humor that made them famous -- jibes, wisecracks, and lots of love. The other actors (including quirky crooks and creepy doctors) are usually quite solid although Landi flings herself around in an unintentionally funny manner. The standout is then-rising star Jimmy Stewart, who plays a typical role with a brilliant twist.

"After the Thin Man" is a suitable sequel to the first "Thin Man" movie, and a classy, witty whodunnit that will leave viewers twitching until the finale.

A Sparkling Long Island Weekend.......2007-05-26

The Thin Man series spanned years and each production was charming and witty fun for the moviegoing public. Dashiell Hammet's Nick and Nora were perfectly portrayed by William Powell and Myrna Loy, and this third entry, like the others, is a breezy and fun comedy mystery done with style, class and top drawer production values from MGM at it's zenith.

In this one, little Nicky Jr. is a year old and proud parents Nick and Nora are having a ball. Nick is trying to get out of going to Long Island because Colonel McFay (C. Aubrey Smith) only wants him to go over financial reports and other mundane matters that might interfere with Nick's drinking. But there is also a threat on the Colonel's life and Nora wants a quiet weekend in the country, so off they go. It turns out anything but quiet, of course, and Nick has to solve another murder.

A sharp and clever script with snappy dialog keep this one moving along nicely. Pretty Virginia Grey is the Colonel's daughter Lois and Ruth Hussey plays little Nicky's nurse, Dorothy. Lois wants to marry Dudley Horn (Patrick Knowles), much to the chagrin of the Colonel and his secratery, Freddie (Tom Neal), who is in love with the lovely Lois as well. It seems some of the Colonel's business dealings have been just a little on the shady side since the death of Nora's father, his business partner. Phil Church (Sheldon Leonard) may have been on the wrong end of one of these shady deals and with all this going on you can guess what happens next.

The interplay between Nick and Nora about their quiet little weekend is a lot of fun. A body in the road and a pool house fire get things moving quickly in this light and breezy entry in the series. Nat Pendelton is along as Lt. Guild this time and Marjorie Main has a nice turn as a very funny landlady. Muriel Hutchison also has a nice role as Church's girlfriend, Smitty, in a mystery a little more complicated than you might think.

This time the gathering of suspects, including Don Costello as Diamond Back Vogel, takes place at a birthday party for Nicky Jr. thrown by Nick's old pals. Shemp Howard has a funny role as Whacky, as does Harry Bellaver as Creeps. Otto Kruger is on hand as A.D.A. Van Slack when Nick surprises everyone with the killer's identity.

One of the highlights in a film with many fine moments is a scene at The West Indies Club. Nora learns a little more about Nick's past there than he would like! This is a fun film to watch, and there is a magic here which can never be duplicated. This is five star entertainment you don't want to miss.

Product Description

Nick and Nora Charles are attending a charity benefit aboard a gambling ship. The festive atmosphere conceals many tensions among those connected with the ship, with most of the friction centering around Tommy Drake, its unpopular, spiteful band-leader. When he is murdered later that night, suspicion falls on Phil Brant, who had argued with Drake earlier in the evening. When Phil and his wife seek help from Nick and Nora, Nick refuses to get involved. But when shots are fired outside his own apartment, Nick begins to investigate, and he soon finds himself in a confusing case with numerous suspects.

"That's an old saying I just made up.".......2007-08-08

Song of the Thin Man is the last film of the highly popular detective series starring William Powell and Myrna Loy as Nick and Nora Charles. Here, the couple is dragged into another murder case when a man is killed at a popular nighclub. It seems that he was involved with several women and owed a few debts. He could have been killed by anyone, and the evidence points to several people. Inevitably, just when the duo gets close to solving the case, something happens to throw them off course.

It is obvious that the leading stars have aged quite a bit since the first film in the series, but this is appropriate with the story. There are references to their longtime involvement in solving crimes, and their dog Asta has found a loving companion in the Charles son, Nick Jr. (Dean Stockwell). This is a movie about a family, which appeals to sentimental types, but it includes jazz and action for other audiences. There is certainly something for everyone here. No wonder this series ran for so long.

Nick and Nora Charles stroll off arm-in-arm into the distance. We'll miss them.......2007-06-07

Song of the Thin Man is a sad-sweet experience, something like meeting a good friend you haven't seen in years and realizing how much affection you still have for him... but also how much you both have aged. It's been 13 years since The Thin Man appeared in 1934. We have to stop and remember that Nick Charles wasn't the thin man back then; that particular thin man was just one of the many murder victims Nick and Nora came across in their six movies. We remember the sophistication and insouciance of this affectionate and clever couple. They were never at a loss for a quick come-back or to shake a cold, gin martini. Even Nick's modus operandi to bring all the suspects together at the conclusion and pick apart the case until he has the murderer squirming never quite got stale. Alas, with Song of the Thin Man we have the MGM factory squeezing out one more film to try to wring a profit from it, this time attempting to make it "contemporary" by setting the story in the post-WWII social world of after-hours jazz clubs, bebop musicians and hep cat dialogue. Nick and Nora never looked uncomfortable anywhere their adventures took them in the past. They look at times now as out of place as salesmen from Peru, Indiana, at a Linda and Cole Porter party.

Gone is the sophisticated world of white sofas and polished black floors, of naughty Porter lyrics and earnestly sophisticated Gershwin tunes. Martinis seem oddly old fashioned now (and so do Old Fashioneds) as Nick drinks high balls and Nora sips sherry. And instead of clever repartee, Song of the Thin Man gives us the kind of dialogue only studio journeymen can write. Says one character, "I must have blown my top, kicking Buddy over for a road company Casanova like you!" The solution depends on the kind of half-baked, melodramatic psychology popular at the time. To make it even more tedious, there are no characters except Nick and Nora to care about. The movie is peopled with crooks, opportunists, gold-diggers, scat-talking musicians and the unattractive rich. The acting is so variable that it doesn't take long to realize we're watching the kind of movie that MGM did not waste much effort on.

Why spend time on it? Two names: William Powell and Myrna Loy. Even though 13 years have elapsed, even though, at 55, Powell is a little fuller around the face (Loy at 42 doesn't seem to have changed a bit) and even though WWII altered decisively the world of films, they remain one of the most refreshing, attractive and delightful movie pairs in screen history. They raise the movie, if at least not to their level, to a level of enduring affection for their style, their warmth, their intelligence and, that word again, their insouciance. So three stars is too much for the movie but five stars is too little for them.

The DVD transfer looks just fine. There are a couple of extras, a cartoon and a short feature.

"I hope you don't mind drinking this early.".......2007-05-26

Starting with "The Thin Man," William Powell and Myrna Loy were Nick and Nora Charles, Dashiell Hammett's greatest creation. This series stood apart from others in that it was a class "A" production all the way, MGM giving these wildly popular films their best contract players and their finest behind the scenes people to create something unparalleled in American film history.

The original "The Thin Man" was a masterpiece of light and witty comedy mystery that has never been equaled. For that reason it is unfair to compare the five films that followed with the first one, and once that is set aside, each of the five was charming, witty and classy, the perfect way to solve a mystery and be entertained at the same time. This was the last entry and was just teriffic, as "The Thin Man" went out in style.

Manhattan meets the hip jazz scene in this one as Nick and Nora are involved in solving another delicious murder, with nice touches from Nicky Jr. and, of course, their dog Asta. It begins when Nick and Nora have a night out on the gambling ship "S. S. Fortune."

The film opens with a young and stunningly beautiful Gloria Grahame singing "Your Not That Easy to Forget" and only gets better. As Nick and Nora rub shoulders with the elite and a few of Nicky's old pals a chain of events leads to murder, discovered the next morning when the chief suspect stops by with his fiance to ask for Nick's help. Nick turns him over to the cops for his own safety when he is shot at but the deal is sealed when the bullet hits a bottle Nick had been saving for a special occasion, and as he puts it, "An old friend of mine went completely to pieces."

There are no shortage of suspects as Nick and Nora start nosing around, aided by a young Keenan Wynn as one of the hip band members. It's very funny as Nora begins to pick up the lingo of Wynn and his jazz friends, who seem to have a language of their own. The victim seemingly had no end of enemies. He was deep in debt to a dangerous gambler, had been cheating on his girlfriend, was running out on a contract to play at the "S. S. Fortune" for greener pastures, had publicly humiliated Grahame's former boyfriend Buddy Hollis (Don Taylor), and more.

Before it's over, Nick and Nora will walk in on another murder, and Nick will stage a suprise back on the waters, gathering all the suspects back on the swanky "S. S. Fortune" to trick a killer. Patricia Morison, Jayne Meadows, Dean Stockwell, Ralph Morgan, William Bishop and Marie Windsor all offer fine support to make this closing chapter one of their best. Some nice family moments (Nick and Nora style) with Asta and Nicky Jr. are put in the mix as well, Nicky Jr. seemingly a chip of the old block.

The same carefree and fun loving ambiance that was a staple of every entry is here and a good atmospheric mystery to boot. There is nothing shabby about "Song of the Thin Man." It is a bar that many have attempted to reach when making a light comedy mystery but these films have endured because of their wit, fun and charm. Nothing has ever come close to them and you won't want to miss this one!

The newspaper headlines blames Janet Thayer (Jayne Meadows) and her secret Lover, Phil Brant (Bruce Cowling), who were also aboard the vessel, the suspects in the killing. So absurd, that Janet and Phil ask the Charles' to investigate and get them off the rap. Suddenly another shot rings out and hits Nick's wine bottle he was holding. Nobody hurt, but Asta has licked up all that spilled wine.

The 6-Film "Thin Man" Series Ends on a High Note. .......2006-03-22

"Song of the Thin Man" (1947) is the third-best film in the "Thin Man" series, after the original "The Thin Man" (1934) and "After the Thin Man" (1936). Typical of the "Thin Man" movies, there is no shortage of suspects or red herrings, and the case is solved when Nick Charles brings everyone together at the end to sweat the solution out of them. Screenwriters Steve Fischer and Nat Perrin and director Edward Buzzell are all newcomers to the franchise, but this mystery is one of the best. Tommy Drake (Philip Reed), bandleader and inveterate gambler, is shot to death aboard a gambling ship owned by Phil Brant (Bruce Cowling). Tommy was in debt to a bookie, just had a fight over a woman with his unstable reed man, announced he was taking his band and leaving Phil for greener and richer pastures, and was disliked by everyone. But the police blame Phil Brant, who has just married the blue-blooded Janet Thayer (Jayne Meadows) against her father's strong objections. Janet and Phil turn to their friends Nick and Nora Charles (Myrna Loy and William Powell) in desperation, hoping that Nick can crack the case and clear Phil's name.

The "Thin Man" franchise is in its 13th year at this point, and Nick and Nora Charles are looking very much the middle-aged couple with a son (Dean Stockwell), who is increasingly like his father, in grade school. Nick doesn't seem to drink anymore. And Nora is no longer a fashion plate. I like the fact that this film admits they are not young. It would be ridiculous if it didn't. Nick's sleuthing takes the couple into the world of jazz musicians, who speak a hipster lingo that befuddles Nick and Nora, poking fun at the generation gap. Newlyweds Janet and Phil are a younger version of the Charleses, an aristocratic woman who married an ambitious street-wise working stiff, who look to the older couple for understanding. Two actresses who became staples of film noir in the years to come have small roles: Gloria Grahame is "canary" and suspect Fran Page, and Marie Windsor plays a bookie's wife. Nick's method of eliciting a confession is more far-fetched than usual, and that seemed like a flaw to me. But "Song of the Thin Man" is one of the most entertaining mysteries in the series. As Nick says to an anxious Nora: "We're on no spot that the solution of the crime won't get us off."

The DVD (Warner Brothers 2005): Bonus features include a short film, a cartoon, and a theatrical trailer (3 min). "A Really Important Person" (11 min) is a John Nesbitt "Passing Parade" short film starring Dean Stockwell as an 8-year-old boy who is looking for someone important to write about for an essay contest and finally decides that that person is his father. "Slap Happy Lion" (7 min) is a cartoon about a formerly ferocious and fearless lion who is now afraid of a particularly self-assured and pesky mouse.
