Description
Box set containing all five films from the popular 'Thin Man' series. In 'The Thin Man' (1934), young Dorothy Wynant (Maureen O'Sullivan) approaches amateur sleuth Nick Charles (William Powell) when her inventor father appears to be a major suspect in a murder case. In fact, Dorothy is so worried about her father's guilt that she tries to convince Nick that she did it. Nick's wife Nora (Myrna Loy) wants him on the case so that she can experience some of the excitement herself. However, Nick is reluctant to get involved until he sees that police Lt. Guild (Nat Pendleton) is coming to the wrong conclusions. Nick decides that the best way to clear up the case is to invite all the suspects to dinner with Lt. Guild and see what happens. In 'After the Thin Man' (1936), back in San Francisco after solving their last case in New York, Nick and Nora find another case. Nora's cousin Selma (Elissa Landi) is accused of having murdered her husband, but for Nick it's clear that she is not the murderer and he starts to investigate. In 'Another Thin Man' (1939), Nick and Nora (and their dog Asta) visit the estate of Col. MacFay (C. Aubrey Smith), who is being threatened by a mysterious man wanting revenge for a past injustice. When MacFay is murdered, that man is the obvious suspect- maybe too obvious. In 'Shadow of the Thin Man' (1941), Nick and Nora Charles are looking forward to a day of leisure, but when they make a trip to the race track, they learn that a jockey, who was recently accused of throwing a race, has just been found shot to death. With his friend Lieutenant Abrams (Sam Levene) in charge of the case, Nick has difficulty keeping from getting involved. Then a special state deputy, in charge of investigating gambling scandals, comes to see Nick. He tells Nick that the jockey could have been silenced by a gambling syndicate, and he asks for Nick's help. Soon Nick is fully involved in a complicated and hazardous investigation. Finally, in 'Song of the Thin Man' (1947), Nick and Nora Charles are attending a charity benefit aboard a gambling ship. The festive atmosphere conceals many tensions among those connected with the ship, with most of the friction centering around Tommy Drake (Philip Reed), its unpopular, spiteful band-leader. When he is murdered later that night, suspicion falls on Phil Brant (Bruce Cowling), who had argued with Drake earlier in the evening. When Phil and his wife seek help from Nick and Nora, Nick refuses to get involved. But when shots are fired outside his own apartment, Nick begins to investigate, and he soon finds himself in a confusing case with numerous suspects.
