Review of The Thin Man (1934) by Christopher Orr for The Atlantic — 05 Apr 1947
Director W.S. Van Dyke and married co-writers Albert Hackett and Frances Goodrich leavened the novel's hard-boiled tone and grim wit. The result is less a detective story with occasional flashes of humor than a light comedy set against a backdrop of murder.
