The Thin Man
William Powell and Myrna Loy recreate their famous roles as Nick and
Nora Charles in an adaptation of a Dashiell Hammett story set on Nob
Hill in San Francisco. The Thin Man is the first installment
in one of the most successful detective serials in film history. It's
a quick-witted repartee that set a Hollywood tradition in their crackling
debut as Nick and Nora investigate the disappearance of a wealthy inventor.
The film also stars Maureen O'Sullivan and Nat Pendleton
Selected for the Library of Congress' National Film Registry
