See these films: The Thin Man + After the Thin Man @ the Brattle
Long ago, detectives in movies could drink martinis, smoke,
banter with their spouses, and treat every night as if it were New Year's Eve - detectives like Dashiell Hammett's inimitable
PI pair Nick and Nora Charles, played by William Powell and Myrna Loy. So it's
fitting that the Brattle Theatre usher in the new year with two of the pair's best
films, both directed by W.S. Van Dyke: The
Thin Man (1934; 2:30 + 7 pm) and After
the Thin Man (1936; 4:30 + 9 pm). See if they can solve a case before the
next cocktail hour!
