eBook Description: The World's Most Romantic Mystery Team! Crime, Kisses and Cocktails with the "Happiest married couple in Radio"! Here is the classic "Lux Radio Theater" performance of the 1930s movie hit, recreated in a 60 minute radio adaptation with the original film stars and director! This Audio Archive "Feature Presentation" delivers William Powell and Myrna Loy who reprise their original roles as Nick and Nora Charles, the sophisticated lovers at the heart of Dashiell Hammett's immortal romantic-mystery masterpiece, "The Thin Man." As in the 1934 hit movie they are directed in this production by W .S. Van Dyke who is also featured "on-mic" as host for the evening. "The Thin Man" has all the best touches of the Hammett tough-guy detective style, but as director Van Dyke points out, "There was something else about the book that struck me. Here was something new and fresh and very charming, a romance between a man and his wife. Underneath all the casualness and all the wisecracking, there's a lovely wholesome relationship. Something really sweet, and deep, and inspiring." As well as introducing the program and it's stars, Van Dyke also shares the story of how M.G.M. decided to make the Dashiell Hammett novel into a film. Listeners will also hear wonderful commercials touting Lux as the "Toilet soap of the Stars," plus a rare and remarkable guest appearance by legendary silent screen star Theda Bara that will cause the film historians and biographers to revise some previously accepted facts about this Hollywood icon! This Audio Archive program is preceded by background and biographical information on the author, the stars, the Lux program and its producer (movie legend Cecil B. DeMille!), researched and written by audiophile and Old Time Radio (OTR) buff Bill Mills. This is a not-to-be-missed one-of-a-kind audio book. Suspenseful, funny and romantic, this immortal story has never been better than in this 1936 radio recreation of the all-time great film. If you love Nick, Nora, Powell, Loy, Hammett. or old time radio, or just a good ebook to listen to, this audio adaptation of Dashiell Hammett's "The Thin Man" will provide a unique and thrilling listening experience.
