But now to the fine, albeit thin booklet, which you, undoubtedly pure notes in each albeit quite short articles - the enthusiasm for this old, in the heart of afficinados, unforgotten cult series - because who got drunk beautiful and violent as the glamorous detective couple Nick and Nora Charles.
The tapes begin with the usual suspects: We get an introduction to what how and why the thin man who has perhaps most himself his title even after the author Hammett, who was a lifelong line in the landscape. In addition to the illumination of literary backgrounds are dedicated to, of course the other main participants - William Powell, Myrna Loy & One-Take Woody (Director WS Van Dyke).
Just the contributions to the two actors you realize the love of the fans. William Powell, one of the biggest stars of his time, is now forgotten. Who still knows him as opposed to Bogey, Coop, Grant, Wayne or Jimmy Stewart - almost niemand- the bedeauert started and takes a look at life and the Vita of mimes.
For Myrna left to say at this point that they are "The Perfect Wife" was par excellence, at least in their films. To those who know about Loy and Powell is not much, so provides in a few pages is a brief overview.
Adorable I found the enthusiasm of the author for Loy: "I was born in July 1993. Myrna died in December 1993. See did not know that, but I think I was lucky to have lived (for a short wile evne) in the same World as Myrna Loy "(p.20). I kept always a fan but as differences are clearly ...

And finally addresses one then even with the TV series, the waxworks and the radio show.
So Danny Reid presented together with its Webfreunden a small, incredibly charming book together, its introduction enchants and makes you want it to devour the whole best in one fell swoop.
On most successful I found the first part, subtitled with Suspects. Songs, the second part quite lengths that consist in quite detailed description of the six parts. I for one can not do much with the citation of whole passages. When I look for parts again instead of reading about it. On the other hand, it is basically a nice idea if you want to have a quick refresher or films not calls his own. Worth reading here are the in between interspersed small items.
Conclusion: real gem - charming, funny, entertaining - for the fan always a must. With many love for series and Golden Age of Hollywood created essay booklet!
