Feature Film: The Thin Man

Myrna Loy, William Powell, and Asta.

What’s zany? It’s Buster Keaton losing his swimsuit in a crowded swimming pool. William Powell and Myrna Loy tossing off zingers while tossing down drinks. Walter Matthau wiping off and tidying up a sticky Elaine May. Barbara Streisand and Ryan O’Neal on a delivery bike careening down a San Francisco hill.

 

Come for four weeks of Zany Comedies: An Afternoon Film Series on Tuesdays at 2 p.m.

 

On October 8, watch The Thin Man (1934), featuring William Powell and Myrna Loy. Gentleman detective Nick Charles, socialite Nora Charles, and their clever dog Asta get caught up in the mysterious disappearance of an inventor.

 

This event is free and open to all.
