Cinema: The Thin Man (1934)

The Thin Man sounds utterly fun! It is from the 1930s when wit and glamour was in. By all accounts Myrna Loy and William Powell play off each other perfectly. One of my friends confirmed enthusiastically that this is a good film and lots of fun. A comedy-detective film is right up my street. I'm looking forward to it, and even leaving the office early for. If you're free, join me!

The attendance fee is £2. We can catch up to discuss the film and catch up in the Atrium bar afterwards.

This is part of the Garden Cinema's Screwball Comedy season over the summer. I can't wait.

"The Thin Man (1934) is the first installment of a popular series of six films casting a sophisticated, glamorous, pleasure-seeking, and urbane husband-wife detective team (William Powell and Myrna Loy as Nick and Nora Charles). It became one of the defining films of the classic era in the comedy-detective subgenre. The film's murder mystery story took a back seat to the romantic screwball comedy, featuring the splendid, snappy and flirty banter between the rich, carefree married couple. They were known for sleuthing, solving murders, wisecracking one-liners, affectionate witticisms, delightful teasing and one-upmanship, alcoholic fun with plenty of martinis (two years after the end of Prohibition), a wire-haired terrier named Asta (actually named Skippy), and a loving relationship - often punctuated with quick kisses and slight hiccups. - Filmsite Movie Review Cast: William Powell, Myrna Loy, Skippy (Asta), Maureen O'Sullivan, Edward Ellis, Nat Pendleton, Minna Gombell"
