With its mythic milieu of Prohibition-era Manhattan and its charming gumshoes, William Powell and Myrna Loy, The Thin Man established early criterion for conjugal sophistication and affectionate sarcasm. It follows detective-cum-debonair-retiree Nick Charles, as he and wealthy wife Nora drink at parties and delight in repartee. That is, until they are approached to find a missing inventor, whereupon their genuine chemistry and ingenuity truly shine. Also playing is Christmas in Connecticut, starring Barbara Stanwyck, who poses as a famous food columnist living in New England, when she is actually a single New Yorker, clueless in cooking matters. Irresistible intrigue stirs up when her none-the-wiser publisher and a war hero come by for dinner.
