Nick re-connects with many of his old cronies, several of whom are eccentric characters, to say the least. He’s also approached by Dorothy Wynant whose inventor father Clyde Wynant is suspected of murdering her father’s mistress (his former secretary ).. Her father had left on a planned trip some months before and she has had no contact with him. Nick isn’t all that keen on resuming his former profession but egged-on by wife Nora, who thinks this all very exciting, he agrees to help out. He solves the case, announcing the identity of the killer at a dinner party for all of the suspects.
Plot: A husband and wife detective team takes on the search for a missing inventor and almost get killed for their efforts.

The first of the series, and one of the best
“The Thin Man” introduces film audiences to the Dashiell Hammett characters Nick and Nora Charles, portrayed by one of the great screen couples, William Powell and Myrna Loy. MGM was very surprised when the film, for which they had no ambitious plans, became a huge hit and even garnered four Oscar nominations.This Nick and Nora have very little to do with Hammett’s Nick and Nora, and it’s just as well. William Powell and Myrna Loy created a lively, fun, loving couple that’s all their own. The two actors worked better together than probably any other team – they’re the non-dancing Astaire and Rogers. Loy’s entrance into this film – she’s dragged by Asta into a bar while she’s balancing Christmas gifts and ends up flat on her face – is one of the best. Nick is pretty much smashed through most of the movie – people drank a lot more in those days. Powell manages to be elegant, funny, smart, warm, and do slapstick – sometimes all at the same time. Asta has a helluva time keeping up with them.
A very pretty Maureen O’Sullivan costars as a young woman whose father is missing and then is suspected of killing his ex-wife – that’s for starters. He seems to be on a killing spree. Though Charles hasn’t been involved in detective work in four years, she begs him to help her. After a visit from the police in the middle of the night, Nora asks Nick, “Are you going to take her case?” “Take it?” Nick asks, reaching for the booze. “I’m in it!”
Highly recommended for first-class chemistry, wit, humor, a good mystery, and overall enjoyment.
