BECOMING NICK & NORA: The Thin Man and the Films of William Powell and Myrna Loy
Follows the winding path that William Powell and Myrna Loy's screen personas took over their careers. Studios originally cultivated the two as villains in the silent era: Powell as a mustachioed, swashbuckling fiend and Loy as an "exotic" adversary. With the rise of talkies, the two managed to broaden their range beyond villainous stereotypes. Photos.
