"The Thin Man" Series

A platinum plated Series that is a shoo-in into my list of Films that you can watch a Zillion times !

Not for nothing was the suave,charismatic Bill Powell and the gorgeous,bewitching Myrna Loy considered to be one of Cinema's greatest couples. In fact, I would put 'em right at the top of the heap for you'd search long and in vain to find a chemistry as electric and as crackling as this one.

As far as Comedy-whodunits go, nothing comes near this Series. For once, even the irrepressible Dashiell Hammett was pushed into the background as Powell took to Nick Charles with the alacrity of a cat that has just smelt cream. That it was a "dream" role was obvious. Powell's infectious Joie De Vivre, coupled with his pitch perfect body language was a sight to behold.

Polished,urbane wit and sophisticated,twinkling charm aside; it is astonishing that the set of 6 Films managed to maintain the quality of the original (The first entry based on the Hammett novel) almost throughout.

A staggering achievement and a must own !!
