Great Old Movie Series

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.

OK, so far.....

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. Read full review

Fine Films

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.Read full review

Hard to find-and worth the hunt!

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!!Read full review

Funny (and drunken) Detecting at its’ Best!

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. Read full review

Entertaining collection of films with extra features.

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.Read full review

Classic duo for a good price

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!

Great collection of Powell and Loy

The discs appear to be in great shape and so are the case and collectors box. These are some of my favorites and I will enjoy them for many years.
