woman who wants to get in on Mr. Charles private eye gig. A scene I just saw the other day killed me, the humor is overt, but still I was nearly crying I was laughing so hard (I had to laugh like hell -KV). The scene is in the second installment of the series, Another Thin Man. Nick Charles is over at his wife's older relative's house having dinner. As was custom from the old guard, after dinner the men and women separate into different quarters. The scene in the gentlemen's after dinner quarters begins with Nick, drunk and professing, "You Amaze me!" the camera pans over to the old gentlemen who are obnoxiously snoring. I'm not really doing this scene justice, because it's the way William Powell says, "You Amaze me!" that cracks me up. Wow, I'm a really horrible humourist. I've even read "How to tell a Joke" by Mark Twain, the best humourist there ever was....I guess I won't be who ever will be. Anyways, William Powell was engaged to Jean Harlow when she died. See the Jean Harlow entry on her last film. You Amaze ME!!!Friday, July 20, 2007
William Powell
I Love William Powell. Well, maybe I love Nick Charles. That is how I was introduced to this ~1920-40's actor. You have to watch all the Thin Man movies. He's magnificent as a flat foot with a taste for booze. His wife Nora, played by Myrna Loy, is spectacular as a sweet and sassy
