Way ahead of its time, hilarious, action packed, theres a reason they made like 6 of these movies
This is an exceptional whodunnit! I was on the edge of my seat the entire time. Powell & Loy are sensational!
The film that started it all! Powell and Loy’s chemistry is unmatched — and how can you not love Asta? One of my all-time favorites.
If you see this first of the series of a detective couple, you'll see how clever dialogue used to be.
Fun film, pretty rewatchable for the charming characters. All the films in the series are fine but this is probably the best
Nice yesteryear whodunnit. Powell and Loy are phenomenal together. A really sweet and silly relationship.
Classic detective mystery. Honestly every one of the Thin Man movies is worth a watch. The first is always going to be the first.
The chemistry between the two leads is great and fun.
William Powell and Myrna Loy as Nick and Nora Charles in a pre-code murder mystery. They play so well off each other!
One of the most enjoyable film experiences one could wish for. A catalyst toward cinephilia with its wit, charm and pace.
