Description

|
W.S. "One-Take Woody" Van Dyke shot this adaptation of Dashiell Hammett's novel in just 12 days. The 1935 production, combining screwball romance with mystery, yielded four Academy Award nominations, including Best Picture, and spawned five sequels featuring the effervescent chemistry and sparkling repartee of cocktail-sipping sleuths Nick (William Powell) and Nora Charles (Myrna Loy) and beloved dog Asta. Powell earned his first Oscar nomination in the role, and James Wong Howe's glossy yet gritty black and white photography anticipated the look of film noir.
