The Thin Man was a rather strange movie. On the one hand was the case, with people getting knocked off every few minutes. On the other hand, Nick and Nora's marriage was a comedy, with smart remarks and pratfalls and a stupid dog. It's the exchange of dialogue between William Powell and Myrna Loy that has given the movie it reputation. I laughed from time to time. Sal found it even funnier than I did.
