I first saw The Thin Man when I was a kid and was an instant fan. Old movies were part of my growing up as my parents were always trying to expose us kids to them; from seeing Gone With The Wind at the theater before it was ever aired on TV to all the old movies shown on TV. I first bought the Thin Man collection on Laserdisc several years ago and this was OK but I decided to pick up the DVD for better viewing and am very happy with it. I like the extras, trailers, shorts and cartoons. The bonus disc has 2 very nice documentaries and a episode from the 1950s TV series. I was disappointed by the LUX radio show though as it is a very bad muffled copy, but that is minor anyway. The transfers of the films are excellent, a keeper. This set seems to be out of print so expect to pay a little more even for a used set, but if you are a fan it is well worth it.Read full review

I have only had a chance to watch 4 of the 7 DVDs. Two of the 4 had sound problems. One DVD it was for several seconds in the middle of the movie. The other DVD, problem started in middle and pretty much was problem until the end. I did clean both DVDs, & also the DVD player.

The Thin Man series of films are from "old Hollywood" with two of the most famous actors of the time. William Powell and Myrna Loy really are an acting team on screen and good friends in real life. Each of the films follows the same theme of a "retired private detective" and his quite wealthy wife who have a very entertaining dog. But, the get into all kinds of situations that involve solving murders. The humor along the way is icing on the cake. This films are are great and worth every penny and every minute watching.

This is a great set of the Thin Man movies. I highly recommend it;but you'll probably need to buy it used. This set is hard to find and when you do find it,the prices asked can be expensive. I was lucky to get a great deal! I am happy to add this set to my collection. If you are fans of William Powell and Myrna Loy,you need to add this to YOUR collection!!

I absolutely love The Thin Man collection of films! They’re great not only because of their engaging and puzzling plots but because the main characters are fun, witty, in love, and so happy prohibition was over. I catch a few of these movies on TV every so often, now it’s fantastic to have the complete collection of movies to watch whenever and wherever I want. It’s a terrific item at a good price and worth it to any Nick & Nora fan.

I purchased this collection for a friend, but before passing it on, my husband and I have watched three of videos and will watch them all before we do. The movies are enjoyable and entertaining. So far, each video has extras on the DVDs, including animated and live action shorts. Overall, a fun find.

I had been trying for a couple of years to find all the individual CDs that make up this collection, with no success. I would have been content to rent them on a regular basis, but struck out in that ballpark as well, since none of the major online rental entities carried all of the movies in the collection. Imagine my delight and surprise to find them all in one place, at a very reasonable price, on Half.com. I burned my "tennies" to place an order and secure the collection before some else beat me to it. I am thrilled, and look forward to enjoying these movies. The dry, humorous and snappy repartee between my favorite movie couple never ceases to amuse me, as it has countless movie fans in the successive years since these films were made. They wrote the book for a thousand movies to follow, and set an almost impossibly high standard to be met by those who would attempt to write and act out a great story line with humor and panache. This is a great series, and I would highly recommend it to anyone who loves the old films of a bygone era. These movies are charming and entertaining, and if children are old enough to appreciate them, good viewing for the entire family. No need to worry about vulgar languare, gratuitous violence or hideous images. There is a tendency of the characters to imbibe in their favorite alcoholic beverages to excess, but it is generally in good taste.Read full review
William Powell and Myrna Loy have a wonderful on-screen chemistry that shines through in the "Thin Man" movie series. The movies have some light "slap stick" humor, but the chemistry between Powell and Loy makes you believe they are really married and solving crimes. I only wish they had done more movies together! This set is the complete "Thin Man" series with movies that you can't rent through Amazon or Netflix venues, plus the purchase price is substantially less than on Amazon. If you love classic movies, buy this set and indulge in the classic team of William Powell and Myrna Loy!
