The Thin Man at
Library Film Series
The Thin Man, released in 1934 and directed by W. S. Van Dyke, is a
mystery-comedy film that follows the exploits of crime-solving couple
Nick and Nora Charles as they seek to unravel a labyrinthine murder
mystery. Released just as the Hays Code was coming into effect, the
film displays some mildly racy humor that was erased from Hollywood
films within the year.
Few comedic film couples have ever had better chemistry on screen than
William Powell and Myrna Loy as Nick and Nora. They exchange witty
one-liners, flirting and teasing their way through one absurd situation
after another, looking dashing and stylish all the while and drowning a
never-ending stream of cocktails. A murder mystery has never been so
charming.
Join us on Tuesday, December 4, at 6:30 p.m., as we screen this comedic
crime caper as part of the Third Floor Film Series at Greenville Public
Library. Free popcorn, candy, and soft drinks will be provided, and
David Nilsen will lead a brief discussion after the film. We hope to
see you there.
