THE THIN MAN is the first installment in one of the most successful detective serials in film history, based on the 1932 novel by Dashiell Hammett about stylish sleuthing spouses Nick (William Powell) and Nora Charles (Myrna Loy). Powell and Loy's quick-witted repartee set a Hollywood tradition in their crackling debut as they investigate the disappearance of a wealthy inventor. A blockbuster hit in 1934, THE THIN MAN's convoluted mystery plot moves at a rapid-fire pace that will delight modern viewers. Director W.S. Van Dyke's fast but loose methods helped stars Powell and Loy create great verisimilitude in their marital relationship in spite of the highly stylized script. Even the couple's pet dog, Asta, brings home a finely tuned performance, and the supporting roles are filled with a crew of comical characters. THE THIN MAN must not be missed by fans of the detective genre. [More]

As charming as its headliners are, The Thin Man is brought down to the merely solid level by its flimsy narrative. Full Review |

One can't say enough good things about the playful interplay between Powell and Loy. Full Review |

Beautifully shallow, sophisticated and smart. The Thin Man is pure slapstick noir. Full Review |

A história policial é interessante, mas o ponto alto é mesmo a interação entre Powell e Loy, divertidíssimos.

A perfect, slick combo of comedy and mystery with a touch of romantic marriage thrown in.

The Thin Man was one of the most popular films of 1934, inspired five sequels, and was nominated for four Oscars (best picture, actor, direction and screenplay). Yet it was made as an inexpensive B-picture. Full Review |
