Diet of The Thin Man
Careening wit barbs, great old cars and lingo, and murder mixed with dog tricks--swell entertainment. Plus Myrna is a dish! Well worth the buck for mystery enthusiasts! 2007-11-13




So much enjoyment in one boxed set!
This set is wonderful! If you're not familiar with Nick and Nora Charles, do introduce yourself and get ready for a wild ride of the smartest banter, the most stylish deportment and much fun and mystery too!
Reading other reviews, I would say that most every reviewer here has commented very well on the movies themselves and I heartily concur: they are truly wonderful and a pure pleasure to watch again and again!
I wanted to mention that this is a nicely assembled set, the DVD authoring is very nice, as would seem to be the case with all of the recent offerings of classic films from Warner. Is it that Warner is so astute in their DVD design and packaging or is it that other publishers are so inept? Who knows, but the classic film releases from Warner on DVD are the only ones I've found that are not insulting to watch - there are no heavy-handed anti-piracy warnings, you can pretty much get right to the main menu without being castigated as being a criminal. I don't know about you, but I get very tired of being treated like I'm a crook that needs to see all the warnings, threats and propaganda, especially considering that I've just plunked down a considerable chunk of change to buy a DVD title. It sure does cast a pall over the family room when everyone is gathered to watch a movie and the FBI warnings, or worse (like on a number of Fox titles) you get beaten over the head with a short propaganda message about copying copyrighted material. You get none of that on the Warner sets, including this great collection of The Thin Man movies, for which I am so thankful.
The Thin Man series are a joy to watch and this is a really nice set in every way which I would heartily encourage anyone to buy!

In the morning, In the evening, don't they have fun!!!!
I would love to have lived the life of this husband and wife! No mundane daily rituals for Nick and Nora. Life is a party for the two of them and someone is usually murdered at the event. The Thin Man series is just plain fun. As the series moves on, they do wear a bit thinner, but still enjoyable. Crime looks very glamorous in this boxed set. 2007-10-31




The Complete Thin Man Collection
Absolutely outstanding. I have thoroughly enjoyed these movies. It is wonderful that you are helping keep the classics alive. I enjoy watching movies that do not contain foul language, overt sexual activity, etc. Keep up the good work. 2007-10-17




Witty, engaging fun
Having seen only 2 of the movies in the "Thin Man" series on late-night TV (marred by numerous commercial interruptions and merciless editing), I still enjoyed them enough to try buying this full set.
What good luck that I did! Nick and Nora Charles are even more fun when viewed without commercial interruptions.
If you enjoy slapstick comedy, razor-sharp writing and talented stars who are perfect foils for one another, this is a near-perfect choice.
Having been made in another era, these black-and-white movies make light of Nick's excessive drinking. With the exception of that one caveat, though, I wholeheartedly recommend you sit back and prepare to enjoy a wonderful ride through the mad world of the Charles family.
