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.

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.

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.

NICK AND NORA TO THE RESCUE.......2007-04-20

THIS REVIEW WAS ORIGINALLY WRITTEN FOR THE BOOK BY THE SAME NAME. THE MAIN POINTS THERE APPLY TO THE FILM. I WOULD ONLY ADD THAT WILLIAM POWELL AND MYRNA LOY ARE WELL CAST FOR THE HIGH SOCIETY DETECTIVE AND HIS 'AMATEUR' SLEUTH WIFE. AS FOR THE 5 SEQUELS AS WITH ALL SUCH VENTURES THERE IS A LAW OF DIMINISHING RETURN. ONE GETS CHARLES FATIGUE AFTER THE SECOND FILM. IF YOU NEED A DOSE OF URBANE DETECTIVE THEN STICK WITH THE ORIGINAL. THAT'S THE REAL HAMMETT.

Dashiell Hammett is perhaps better known for creating the classic modern prototypical detective, one Sam Spade the detective-hero (or anti-hero, if you prefer) of the literary noir Maltese Falcon. With the Thin Man he took a different tack in providing a model detective- the urbane Nick Charles, his side-kick society wife Nora and their ever present faithful dog companion, Asta. The story line here centers on a missing eccentric inventor/businessman who it is suspected has been a victim of foul play. Enter Nick, Nora and Asta at the request of his wondering society family (wondering, that is, about the fate of the dough necessary to keep them in their luxuries) and after a series of misadventures and false leads Nick grabs the villain. That is what old Nick has in common with the illustrious Mr. Spade-the dogged (not pun, intended) and tenacious search for the truth and the killer, come what may. If you like your detectives with a light touch this is for you. If you like your detective novels to be minor work of literary art this is also for you. Hammett (along with Raymond Chandler) practically reinvented the previously rather shabby art of the early detective story into literature. Kudos.

The first private detective film to break through the sound barrier..........2007-01-15

"The Thin Man" had the advantage of being based on a successful book by Dashiel Hammett, who had himself been a private eye...

The audience did not have to bother about who murdered the butler with a sliver of ice in the locked library: they were asked to be interested in what was happening now, why it was happening and sometimes how it was happening... They could be just as concerned with the by-play between detective Nick Charles and his wife Nora (William Powell and Myrna Loy) as in wondering who did the murders...

For most of the film, in fact, the audience is led to believe that Winant, the missing inventor, is the murderer; only towards the end does Nick show that Winant has been dead a long time and someone else is doing the killing...

Another factor which made "The Thin Man" notable was that Nick and Nora were - well, almost - real people... Rich they might be: hard drinkers they certainly were... They were a married couple in the film, and they actually managed to appear to enjoy it, making gentle fun of one another in every scene they played...

"The Thin Man" pointed the way, with such success that five follow-ups were made, culminating in "Song of the Thin Man" in 1947.

Most of "The Thin Man" films were predictable but they were historically important for introducing sophistication and witty repartee into the private eye film... Their biggest asset was that they were escapist pictures made for a Depression-weary audience... The Thin Man pictures took the audience away from grim reality simply by ignoring it...

A clever film from the 30's still holds up today.......2006-11-09

This is one of my favorite movies from any decade. William Powell and Myrna Loy have such chemistry together it is hard to believe the differences in their ages - He was 42 and she 29 when they made this movie. Their expressions during their verbal sparrings are priceless. Under different circumstances it might be easy to dislike Nick and Nora Charles - they are the idle rich who spend their time overindulging in alcohol, having loud parties, and destroying their own property with air rifles at a time (1934) when much of America was starving through the worst part of the Great Depression. On top of that, Nick makes no secret of how appealing his wife's money is to him. However, the intricate plot, the couple's clever dialogue, and their chemistry draw you in and make their world even seem somewhat normal.

Due to all of the "Thin Man" sequels, most people think that the Thin Man refers to Nick Charles. 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 Charles' get caught up in the mystery of Wynant's disappearance because his daughter Dorothy (Maureen O'Sullivan) is an old friend of Nick's and asks Nick for his help. Wynant has told his daughter that he is going off somewhere secret to work on an invention so that nobody can steal it from him, but promises he will be back before Christmas so he can be present at her wedding. However, Wynant has never resurfaced and nobody has heard from him. Nick initially has no interest in continuing his former occupation of detective - he is much more interested in having a good time - until a series of circumstances and his own wife's urging draw him into the mystery and back into his role as private detective.

Perhaps the reason that the Charles' lifestyle doesn't rankle the viewer is because the film is full of unsavory characters. Wynant's family is truly disfunctional. His son is an oddball bookworm obsessed with abnormal psychology, his ex-wife has remarried a gigolo who appears to be hiding a questionable past and finds the idea of working for a living insulting, and Wynant's girlfriend is a very greedy and aging ex-flapper who steps out on Wynant with other men whenever she thinks he isn't noticing. The only virtuous characters in the film seem to be Wynant's daughter and her fiance. In short, there is no shortage of possible suspects and worthy victims. Even the police in the film are unappealing - they are very good at getting rough with people and performing illegal searches, but not very quick on finding clues or making even obvious deductions. The constantly semi-innebriated Nick Charles has no problem running circles around them and turns out to be both brave and brilliant in his role as sleuth.

The stark portrayal of human shortcomings, the scenarios in which unmarried people are obviously living together although nobody in the film comes out and calls it that, and some of the double-entendres worthy of the Marx Brothers make me wonder how this film got past the censors over seventy years ago. However, that is not what keeps it fresh and interesting today. What keeps it interesting through the years is that it has in its lead characters the magic of Astaire and Rogers minus the dance numbers. As an aside, I've watched it several times, and I keep coming up with one obvious production gaffe. Everyone keeps saying at Christmas that Wynant has been missing three months. However, at the beginning of the movie, right before Wynant leaves town and is talking to his daughter, a snowstorm kicks up. There really has been an onset of global warming if September snowstorms in New York City were common in 1934! I recommend this film to anyone who likes a good murder mystery laced with a bit of dark comedy.

The DVD set entitled "The Complete Thin Man Collection" contains all of the Thin Man movies, the last one having been made in 1947. My personal opinion is that only the first two are really good, with this first one being the very best. If you think you want all of them you might find the complete collection a better value.

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.
