Thin Man Series
rating: 4
This is one of the best video series I have purchased in a while. The collection contains Nick and Nora on murder cases and their whimsical way of solving these crimes. Their chemistry is highly entertaining as Nora continuously tries to help her husband Nick on each case. They remind me of Katherine Hepburn and Spencer Tracy and the movies they did together. You do not necessarily have had to watch them in a row for each movie is its own separate identity. The last dvd is a synopsis of both actors', William Powell and Myrna Loy, biographies.

I think I'm in love
rating: 5
"The Thin Man" was my introduction to the impeccable teaming of William Powell and Myrna Loy. I went from never having heard their names, to (thanks in part to this boxed-set), owning all but one of their released-to-DVD films. I can't see why these two aren't more well-remembered today - they are absolutely fantastic!
Though the detective story-lines of these films are far from perfect (but really, who watches these for the mystery?), Powell and Loy, especially under the direction of Woody Van Dyke, provide highly enjoyable, entertaining films. No other couple could pull off these characters like William Powell and Myrna Loy, with their combined flair for comedy, charm, wit, and beautiful chemistry.
The supplementary disc, "Alias Nick and Nora," provides two wonderful documentaries, great for any Powell-Loy fan, and those wanting to know more about the actors who made Nick and Nora one of the best and most lovable on-screen couples in Hollywood history.

The Thin Man Collection
rating: 5
I love The Thin Man movies, and any other movies with William Powell and Myrna Loy. They are very enjoyable. I really love the old movies, much more than most of the movies produced today. My husband and I get all the premium channels available, and there are really very few movies made in the past ten or fifteen years that we consider memorable. Mone of the trailers for movies for upcoming release excite any desire to go to a movie theater to view, so we mostly watch the Turner Classic Movies channel because they spotlight great actors and actresses from less fearful times, and the movies usually leave you with a good feeling at the end.
