Thanks for the memories!

Plenty to Like, Plenty to Dislike

It's entirely possible that sending the audience out feeling lousy was intentional

The movie turns out to be a little better than the average. Starting from a romantic formula often seen in the cinema, it ends in the most predictable (and somewhat bland) way.

An Inventor is gone for a planned trip. He promised to attend his daughter's wedding before Christmas. As he didn't show up for a long time, his daughter is suspicious. Coincidentally, she meets a former detective and their family friend, Nick Charles. She asks him to find where her father was. Nick was retired from his job and enjoys the countless wealth of his wife's dead father. he has no interest in returning to his detective job. Suddenly, the came to know that the Investor is back. But, he was suspected for the murder of his secretary. Everyone thinks that the Detective is taken up the case, and everyone bothers him about it. Later, for fun sake, just out of his wife's curiosity, he decides to investigate the case.It's really interesting crime thriller with a lot to laugh. There is nothing slapstick. The characterization and actors performance made it a really enjoyable movie ever. Mr & Mrs Nick makes it a really worth watch movie. Hats off to William Powell and Myrna Loy.The movie was shot just in about two weeks with a very limited budget, but the result was amazing, the movie became a block buster as well as a classic.A must watch movie. Highly recommended.#KiduMovie

The problem with looking forward to watching a classic film is that sometimes the film turns out to be disappointing.I watched "The Thin Man" too late in the evening and was overwhelmed by the quantity and speed of the dialogue and the complexity of the twists and turns of the plot. I also did the unforgivable and fell asleep and had to keep re-winding the tape. (Yes... the tape.. it's been on the "need to watch shelf" a LONG time) and even then it just did not seem "special". BUT. I knew it was supposed to be really good so I watched it in the morning. Stayed awake. Had read some of the reviews and message boards and was prepared this time.It's GOOD. Really, really good. Witty dialogue, quirky characters galore, loose ends pretty well woven into each other by the time of the end credits. Chock-a-block filled with all of those wonderful everyday things of 1934 like two part corded telephones, typewriters that make noise, telephone operators, nickels needed for a call, fur trim on just about every woman's garment, running boards ! So Stay awake. Watch it more than once, You won't regret it.

I wonder if some of the glowing reviews on here of this movie weren't written through a familiarity with the movies that followed this one in the Thin Man series. Too often the actors seem to stumble over their lines, which leads me to suspect that the movie was made hurriedly without much time for remakes. And it just isn't that clever or funny, nothing like some of the Thin Man movies that follow. Though the cast is first-rate, it seems like an MGM B movie.Don't expect a 10 here. It just isn't that funny.*Imagine two lines of filler here to bring this to ten lines. I have nothing more to say about this movie but I have to provide at least 10 lines.*

I'm half-way through, approx. 45 minutes, watching this film and I've had to switch off for just now as I'm seriously worried about the stars of the film. Now don't get me wrong here, or jump to conclusions, for I think this is a very good film indeed and so well acted by the two main stars, William Powell and Myrna Loy. No, the reason of my concern is I'm very worried indeed about their health. And more to the point I'm VERY worried indeed about William Powell's health more than Myrna Loy's because he does it more than her, yet not that much. And what is it they both do that is so worrying? Drinking alcohol in such vast quantities that it would knock out an elephant! "Pass me a drink darling" William Powell would say to Myrna. "Of course darling" Myrna would answer, pouring about a half pint of scotch into a glass that he would swig off in a couple of gulps. Glass after glass after glass of liquor was consumed in this fashion and nobody battered an eyelid or fell over or even hiccupped. Fantastic!!
