The Thin man
Der dünne Mann : (Deutsch von Peter Fischer.)
Nick and Nora Charles cordially invite you to bring your own alibi to The Thin Man, the jaunty whodunit that made William Powell and Myrna Loy the champagne elite of sleuthing. Bantering in the boudoir, enjoying walks with beloved dog Asta or matching each other highball for highball and clue for clue, they combined screwball romance with mystery. The resulting triumph nabbed four Academy AwardO nominations* (including Best Picture) and spawned five sequels. Credit W.S. "Woody" Van Dyke for recognizing that Powell and Loy were ideal together and for getting the studio's okay by promising to shoot this splendid adaptation of Dashiell Hammett's novel in three weeks. He took 12 days. They didn't call him "One-Take Woody" for nothing.
Den tynde mand / Omsl.: C. Vang Petersen
L'uomo ombra
The Thin Man was Dashiell Hammet's last novel and one of his best-known works, and introduced the unforgettable Nick and Nora Charles. Set in prohibition-era New York, former-private detective Nick and his socialite wife, Nora, become embroiled in a murder investigation, eventually solving the case, but not before crossing paths with the outrageous Wynant family. The Thin Man served as the basis for six films featuring Nick and Nora Charles, including After the Thin Man and Shadow of the Thin Man, as well as for a Thin Man radio show, television series, and Broadway musical. Nick and Nora's trademark banter popularized their appeal, and evolved them into an archetype for future detective couples.

Detective and mystery fiction
Den tynde mand : (Omsl.: William Petersen)
Detective and mystery stories. The Thin Man is the most famous of all of Hammett's tough, hard-bitten novels. Featuring ex-sleuth Nick Charles, his wife Nora and their dog Asta.
Detective and mystery stories. Ex-detective Nick Charles plans to spend a quiet Christmas holed up in a hotel suite with his glamorous wife Nora, their pet Schnauzer and a case of good Scotch. But then a bullet-riddled corpse and a missing inventor (not to mention the attentions of a beautiful young woman) force him out of retirement and back into business. Trying to make sense of false leads, suspicious alibis and mistaken identities, Nick and Nora are thrown into a world of gangsters, hoodlums and speakeasies, where no-one can be trusted. Dashiell Hammett was credited with inventing the hardboiled crime novel, and this story of murder and mayhem in Manhattan, with its breakneck plot, snappy dialogue and the hard-drinking, wisecracking couple Nick and Nora, is one of his most thrillingly enjoyable mysteries. Set among the speakeasies of early 1930s Manhattan, The Thin Man is hard-boiled crime at its wisecracking best.
Een gepensioneerde privédetective stuit bij toeval op een zaak, die hem doet besluiten om nog éénmaal aan de slag te gaan.
