The Thin Man ft. Ann Boyd

from Film Optimists · host Film Optimists

Happy Holidays, Optimists! The illustrious Ann Boyd joins us once again to discuss another alternative Christmas film selection, The Thin Man (1934). The Thin Man is a fast-paced mystery/comedy/romance featuring perhaps the ultimate power couple, Nick and Nora Charles played by William Powell and Mryna Loy. The film follows Nick, a retired detective, and his wealthy heiress wife Nora who encourages her husband to come out of retirement to solve a series of murders occurring in their social circles. The film is nearly ninety years old yet still feels fresh and fun. How does it pull this off? Listen to find out!
