Rush, done. But with a twist :)

Very good! The "twist" may prove to be the charm!

I watched the first installment of The Thin Man and although it wasn't bad, I can't say it motivated me to watch any of the other Thin Man films that were made. In fact, the best part IMO was at the beginning when Dick Powell was saying how to make a drink; that part supposedly was just Powell talking off the cuff, but the camera was rolling and the director liked it so much he put it in the movie. Interesting if true.

Lin, that's very interesting about the opening shot! I will have to take a closer listen next time I happen to see this film. Thanks for sharing.

It is the actor William Powell who plays Nick Charles in the Thin Man movie series.

Channer, you are correct. William Powell starred in them all: The Thin Man (1934), After The Thin Man (1936), Another Thin Man (1939), Shadow of The Thin Man (1941), The Thin Man Goes Home (1944), and Song of The Thin Man (1947).

I believe Lin meant William Powell (or Bill Powell), although "Dick" Powell played in many mysteries and noir films (famous as Phillip Marlowe in "Murder, My Sweet," 1944) I dont' believe he ever portrayed The Thin Man on film. But I've been wrong before!
