From this Saturday at 2am Eastern, that’s 6pm Saturday in NZ, 4pm in Sydney and 7am in the UK, and repeated every four hours throughout the day, it’s the described movie The Thin Man from 1934.
The Thin Man is a 1934 American pre-Code comedy-mystery directed by W. S. Van Dyke and based on the novel of the same name by Dashiell Hammett.
The film stars William Powell and Myrna Loy as Nick and Nora Charles, a leisure-class couple who enjoy copious drinking and flirtatious banter.
Nick is a retired police detective who left his very successful career when he married Nora, a wealthy heiress accustomed to high society.
Their wire-haired fox terrier Asta was played by canine actor Skippy.
In 1997, the film was added to the United States National Film Registry having been deemed "culturally, historically, or aesthetically significant."
The film's screenplay was written by Albert Hackett and Frances Goodrich, a married couple.
In 1934, the film was nominated for the Academy Award for Best Picture.
The titular "Thin Man" is not Nick Charles, but the man Charles is initially hired to find – Clyde Wynant (part way through the film, Charles describes Wynant as a "thin man with white hair").
The "Thin Man" moniker was thought by many viewers to refer to Nick Charles and, after a time, it was used in the titles of sequels as if referring to Charles.
