[...] excepting perhaps a certain British secret agent we’ll get to momentarily. My evidence? Well, there’s this. And this. And this. But, what other choice do we really have if we’ve got a mystery itch we want [...]

Myrna and William were movie magic together and made more movies than Katharine and Spencer together. I have the set of M and W's other movies and it is really good. By the way, you can now buy the first four Thin Man movies in a bargain pack of the price of only one movie! For really big laughs, also see "Libeled Lady" with them, Spencer Tracy and Jean Harlow. I watched on youtube and then bought a copy.

After The Thin Man is the best. So clever and sophisticated. With a young Jimmy Stewart as the murderer and the scene where Asta discovers Mrs Asta has been cheating on him while away is brillant.

ANOTHER THIN MAN is one of the most interesting Thin Man movies. Because it contains a rare appearance of the legendary Stella Adler playing a gangster's moll masquerading as an upscale socialite. Watching her change from one character to the other on camera is simply awesome.
Stella is best known for her Acting School (whose alumni include, among other notables, Marlon Brando). She came from a famous Yiddish Theater family (her brothers Jay and Luther were film actors)and spend most of her career teaching others.
But watching her on screen is simply breathtaking. Don't miss her fantastic magic.

I have the complete set of six Nick and Nora films. The films set I purchased is CLOSED CAPTIONED. Thank God. So many of the older films are being cheaped out on DVD-R with not captions, or extras like the DVDs. This set gets plenty of use, my 13 year old Grandson loves the films, and watches them everytime he visits.

I've seen these films dozens of times and, even though I already know the identity of the killer in each one, still enjoy them as much as my first viewing. Very few movies--much less entire series--are so entertaining. Kudos to Powell and Loy! (And boo to Hollywood for suggesting a remake starring Johnny Depp!)

Much loved and much deserved! I also first fell in love with Nick and Nora thru the TV show with Peter Lawford - who was not so thin - thereby totally confusing me with the title for years.
I was thrilled when I first saw the movies and my first ever VHS purchase was the 6 thin man movies - my second purchase was the 6 Johnny Weissmueller/Maureen O'Sullivan tarzan pix!!
For sheer entertainment I sit down and enjoy one of the Thin Man movies and even tho' the first is the best, I, too, enjoy the 3rd one, Another Thin Man because of the gr8 cast. It was probably the last Woody Van Dyke one also.
I heard Rbt Osborne mention that while on location in San Francisco Wm and Myrna were given a suite together with the opinion that they really were spouses! And, Mr elegant as ever, Powell gave up the suite for whatever was left (not a very nice room).
I'm pretty sure Love Crazy is the movie Teeta is searching for - where he "frees" his feet at some dinner party, launches everyone's hats in the swimming pool, loses his watch to a bird that enticing him out onto the limb of a tree where he falls into the mist of the partiers sans clothes- trying to get out of a divorce by acting crazy.

I see that lots of Powell-Loy non-ThinMan stuff, like Love Crazy, is coming out on DVD. Check it out by putting his name into the search box on Netflix.

I always watch thses films and think to myself what a wonderful relationship the two main protagonists had. Life must have been grand for these two, in their celluloid world.
