October 22, 2023… #movieoftheday is The Thin Man (1934).
“ The Thin Man is a 1934 American pre-Code comedy-mystery film directed by W. S. Van Dyke and based on the 1934 novel of the same name by Dashiell Hammett . The film stars William Powell and Myrna Loy as Nick and Nora Charles , a leisure-class couple who enjoy copious drinking and flirtatious banter. Nick is a retired private detective who left his very successful career when he married Nora, a wealthy heiress accustomed to high society. Their wire-haired fox terrier Asta was played by canine actor Skippy . In 1997, the film was added to the United States National Film Registry having been deemed "culturally, historically, or aesthetically significant."
“The film's screenplay was written by Albert Hackett and Frances Goodrich , a married couple. In 1934, the film was nominated for the Academy Award for Best Picture . The eponymous "Thin Man" is not Nick Charles but the man Charles is initially hired to find – Clyde Wynant (part way through the film, Charles describes Wynant as a "thin man with white hair"). The "Thin Man" moniker was thought by many viewers to refer to Nick Charles and, after a time, it was used in the titles of sequels as if referring to Charles. It was followed by five sequels .” – more at Wikipedia .
