The best couple in hollywood history,quick one liners. Murder,mystery and mayhem, this film gets better and better with repeat viewings.
Nick and Nora have to be the classiest couple in cinema history. Some really funny stuff happens it’s a shame the b plot (the mystery) gets in the way. Honestly the mystery is completely unnecessary to the film. It’s somewhat of an interesting idea and the dinner party scene is terrific. I hope that the positives here all get further developed in the following films. The Thin Man ranked Mysteries Ranked
