The Thin Man films are one of the most highly regarded and successful series of films from Hollywood’s classic era. This book looks at the people who populated the films, including full chapter profiles of its stars, William Powell and Myrna Loy, whose chemistry together was a huge reason for the success of the films. As Nick and Nora Charles they knocked the stereotypes of on-screen marriage out of the park and replaced the stiff and formal with fun and sexy. But not to be forgotten are the great character actors who added their own special magic to each and every film. Each chapter includes profiles of these actors as well as the creative teams behind the films. The book offers up detailed synopses of each of the films as well as behind-the-scenes anecdotes and trivia. If you love The Thin Man then this is the book for you!Praise for Charles Tranberg’s other books:'By virtue of its amazing output and longevity, Moorehead’s career, not to mention life, would be almost impossible to contain in a single volume, but Tranberg is in command of his subject, deftly covering the wide expanse of Agnes Moorehead’s world.'Laura Wagner, Classic Images, review of I Love the Illusion: The Life and Career of Agnes Moorehead. 'This is a fond look at one of the most durable and under-appreciated stars in Hollywood history.'Tom Clegett, The Santa Fe New Mexican, review of Fred MacMurray: A Biography.
