w.s. van dyke’s THE THIN MAN (1934) based on a dashiell hammett novel

i had seen this before but not in such good condition. the filmstruck restoration is not perfect, you can spot scratches in the darkest scenes, but it’s fun and funny and a lot of great dialogue—oh yes a good crime story too but the highlight is really the humor—not just their lines but it’s sometimes unspoken, like the faces they make to each other. these people were hollywood stars, and for good reason.
