Nominated for four Academy Awards, winner of none, The Thin Man (1934) may have lost to Clark Gable et al in It Happened One Night, but we'll take its snappy, gin-soaked dialogue over the Gable-Colbert juggernaut any day. William Powell and Myrna Loy. Salut!

A summary from IMDB...
After a four year absence, one time detective Nick Charles returns to New York with his new wife Nora and their dog, Asta. Nick re-connects with many of his old cronies, several of whom are eccentric characters, to say the least. He's also approached by Dorothy Wynant whose inventor father Clyde Wynant is suspected of murdering her step-mother. Her father had left on a planned trip some months before and she has had no contact with him. Nick isn't all that keen on resuming his former profession but egged-on by wife Nora, who thinks this all very exciting, he agrees to help out. He solves the case, announcing the identity of the killer at a dinner party for all of the suspects.
