The Hoffman Lens crew all agree that when we were kids we thought this was what being grown-ups would be like. The witty repartee. The fabulous apartment with all its jazz-age architecture and furnishings. The elegant outfits. The endless flow of cocktails from fancy shakers. Indeed, Dashiel Hammett’s well-crafted mystery plot is almost superfluous. William Powell and Myrna Loy are both at their best as Nick and Nora Charles. This is a must-see for mystery fans and highly recommended even for people who don’t generally enjoy the genre. Worth seeing
Media criticism. Pop culture snark. And movie reviews. Lots and lots of movie reviews.
