Every week we share our Turner Classic Movies pick of the week. Head on over to the TCM website to see the full schedule.

The Thin Man (1934) – Thursday 8:00pm EST
A husband-and-wife detective team takes on the search for a missing inventor and almost get killed for their efforts.
Cast: William Powell, Myrna Loy, Maureen O’Sullivan, Nat Pendleton Dir: W. S. Van Dyke BW-91 mins, TV-G

Before Nick & Norah and their Infinite Playlist, the most famous Nick & Nora were Nick & Nora Charles from the wonderful Thin Man series of movies in the 30s and 40s. They were a husband and wife detective team that solved a different crime in each movie. However, the plots were always secondary to the delightfully comic chemistry between William Powell and Myrna Loy. The Thin Man was the first in the series. Check it out. I think you’ll enjoy it. If you do, then you’re in luck. TCM is showing the entire Thin Man series on New Years Eve.
