- Nick and Nora Charles are possibly the best detective team in history, but they like their liquor too. Here are some clips from the "Thin Man" series.
I love them together - Фільми й анімація
Almost a hundred years on, and the chemistry that these two had together is still second to none.
Definitely deserved to have cocktail glasses named after them.
At 0:18 when he places his cocktail on the tray so that it can be served to him properly. A classic. My hero.
Right?? So classy.
One of my favorites, but it isn't here.
Nora: "Would you like some breakfast?"
Nick: "It's too early for breakfast, fix me a drink."
From the book: "This excitement has put us behind in our drinking."
Always loved the banter between them and the scene where she matches him drinking the martini’s! These films are classic and they were great on screen couple a compliment to the books.
One time they both woke up, maybe in the sleeper car of a train. He looks at her and the first thing he say to her is, "You need a drink."
I think they were fantastic, and my heart still melts when he says, "hello, Sugar" in that velvet voice of his.
Reporter: “Is he working on a case?”
Nora: “Yes, a case of Scotch!”
Timeless.
I'm a social drinker. If someone says they're going to have a drink I say, so shall I.
My favorite was missed. Nora: "I got rid of the reporters." Nick: "How?" Nora: "Told them we were out of scotch."
This series' treatment of alcohol is one of the reasons I classify it as a fantasy, lol.
GreenGretel. Prohibition had just ended, this series' mirthful treatment of alcohol, marriage & murder is why it was a huge hit still beloved today.
The next scene after Nora has “five more martinis” to catch up, she’s shown in bed with a terrible hangover. So there is at least some bit of truth in there!
Best line: "Mommy, he's a great kid, much obliged."
"Oh, it was nothing, anytime"
Nick gives a LOOK
😂😂👁👁👀👀
They overlooked the line I somehow missed the first 20 times I watched The Thin Man...when McCaulay shows up at their hotel room on Christmas and turns down a drink offer, Nick mutters, "That's a mistake..."
"Yes darling, I'm just putting away this liquor!" LOL
Nora Charles: How many drinks have you had?
Nick Charles: This will make six Martinis.
Nora Charles: [to the waiter] All right. Will you bring me five more Martinis, Leo? Line them right up here.
I love them so much!
Ana Paula Fernandes
Nora Charles: What hit me?
Nick Charles: The last martini.
Nora Charles (standing woozily): What's the big idea of pushing me?
Doesn't she then hostess & tree trim with an ice pack on her head?
It's ten years later and I doubt you'll see this but they're a perfect antidote for these times.
@@shevetlevi2821 yes, most definitely. They manage to make any situation 💗
And the waiter doesn't even flinch.
I love this movie! Nick and Nora are the Cats Pajamas.
One of the greatest movie franchises in the history of film.
Missing one of my favorite lines:
"Have a cocktail!"
"Uh, I don't care for any."
"I SAID HAVE A COCKTAIL!"
"I guess he wants us to have a cocktail."
The first movie was the best of all of them. I think Nick's homecoming was the next best, as he had an actual challenge to get his father to say something nice to him. The worst was that Song one. That's one of the ones I don't care to rewatch. The plot is stupid even by B movie standards.
Charlambides. Nick's last name in the novel, MGM whitewashed it that Thin Man Goes Home is a frikkin' Andy Hardy movie. But Nora is still funny.
@@michaelbauers8800 Yeah, Thin Man Goes Home is the real end and culmination of the series. Song feels like a pointless extra.
You can find them all. "My drawers" "what are you doing in my wife's drawers?" He always solved the crime in the last two minutes. Glorious.
I love the old martini glasses in the first couple clips. Better than what has become the standard martini glass.
then make sure to order your martinies in a nick & nora glas they are great also for other cocktails but small 16cl / 5,4 fl-oz
Hilarious that there's glass named after Nick and Nora. But they did have the rare tipple in some of the movies ;)
Wonderful collection, but you missed my favorite: "How about some lunch, I'm thirsty"!
It's 7 years later but these comments are gold.
I am watching William Powell performing...he was a heck of an actor
i just can't describe how much i love all the thin man movies
Thank you for posting
This is a good example of how cute drunks are in movies, although they are merely irritating in real life.
I was married to an alcholic who I adored. I wish I could have been nora to his nick. Never works out like that in real life.
Depends on the drunk; I'm merely tolerable.
What a great collection of clips! I'm going to order a "Bronx" when I go to my local watering hole!
I wish these movies were available in France. It looks great and the two actors make a wonderful couple ! I'm gonna have a martini now, can't help it !
I cannot imagine these lines in a 2020 movie...
And that’s a good thing.
Mores the pity
And you wouldn't think that Prohibition was lifted only a year before the first THIN MAN film.
Excellent!
They remind me of my parents. ♥
People who grew up in the bar scene of the 70s, 80s and 90s missed out on good cocktails since they went out of style and declined in popularity and considered to be drinks for old people. Now that cocktails have returned in the 21st century more people now know about them.

Nora is the perfect wife!
@jimbojamesIV No, Stella in "Shadow of the Thin Man" is Louise Beavers. She was great in the original "Imitation of Life".
Nick vs Aunt Katherine
"I wouldn't go through that again if you had TWICE as much money"
"Hello Nic-o-las!!!!!"
"Old battleaxe."
Nora: "But Nicky, Selma's in trouble. You like Selma, don't you?
Nick: "Well, not THAT much. *sigh* "Family dinner I suppose. Aunt Katherine (pour) Cousin Selma (pour) Uncle Willie (pour) Cousin Emily (pour) Aunt Hattie (pour) Cousin Lucius (pour) Uncle Thomas (pour) Aunt Lucy (pour)
Nora: "Pour me one too"
Fine way to kill a bottle
Nick and Nora... They need the Big Screen Again!
Andreya133 -- I feel the EXACT same way. Even have an old poster and some other great photos on my wall to accompany the 6-DVD set -- just love it, and them! Dave in Canada. :)
im just putting away this liquor! o i love those movies =]
Prelude to jazz.
lets not get too excited on how great the Thin Man was... They might go and make a shitty remake and try and pass if off as original.
Just classic
@ThingsWeSaidToday There's more to that scene, but it would have lasted 5 minutes so I kept it to the best part.
@billysscreeningroom2 The first one. The scenes go in order of movies
Jeeeep... our alcohol moments...
You have to remember prohibition was just over, from 1920 to 1933.
Nick: "Family dinner I suppose" (grabs glass & bottle) "Aunt Katherine" (pours) "Uncle Willie" (pours) "Cousin Emily" (pours)
Nora: "Aunt Hattie, Cousin Lucius, Uncle Thomas" (big pour) "Pour me one too" (Nick hands Nora the full glass, grabs himself a bigger one)
Comedy gold just as funny as it was 75 years ago!
Is the maid the same actress in Mr. Blandings? Is it Hattie McDaniel?
Oh God, you are right. Starring Lindsey Lohan and Tatum Channing. (shudder)
I suddenly appreciate Frank and Sadie Doyle more. Paget Brewster even sounds like Myrner Loy...
Why in all of Asgard am I just now discovering this wonderful couple?
Because you just arrived on the Asgard shuttle?
Just a guess, mind you.
The Bifröst bridge had been closed for some time....and there was the debacle with the Frost Giants...
Because this isn't owned by Disney, how Disney owns us all. 🤷
You’ve found them now! ☺️
Better late then never 🥃🥃
Alex & Peter
Darling, I love You!
These two are *definitely* the inpiration for Frank and Sadie Doyle!
They have said that outright on multiple occasions!
Hart to Hart was based on this.
An anti-alcohol self appointed group made them remove alcohol from later episodes.
I have the entire set on DVD and play it once in a while.
Must have been Karen’s grandmother
Sure, blame Asta for your alcoholism.
@M1GARRAND1 That prospect is enough to drive me to drink..of course I was heading that way already.
The only time Nora refuses a drink is in the final film "Song Of The Thin Man".
Worst movie of the series IMO.
.25 seconds Hello Sugar...Smooth!
Grammarly is a vampire that lives off your literary neurones. Learn for yourself!
The best line is what comes after at the top of the next scene. a hung-over Nora asks Nick "What hit me?" Great! I love these two together. The three of them, if you count the liquor.
Or Asta.
No wonder mt grandparents dranks so much
If anyone can help me find out the name of the actor @ 0:41-0:44 (The man with a funny sounding voice that says "I certainly think your husbands great!") I would be forever grateful! He also does a bit part in W.C. Fields short "The Golf Specialist". Thank you!
That is John Dunsmuir. After a long career on stage, he only appeared in three movies.
I don't know his name but he reminds me of an Uncle I had in England first time I saw him.
@pinkcultleader Please tell me that the prospect of Depp playing Nick Charles is a result of one too many martinis. Depp was terrible as Dillinger -- he should stick to film roles based on theme park rides. However, if Depp plays NC -- the classic Powell role, it will be ironic. Dillinger was gunned downed outside the Biograph Theater in Chicago, after seeing Powell and Loy in "Manhattan Melodrama".
"It's too early to eat; let's drink."
Unfortunately this line didn't make the cut!
As I recall Nora took the pledge in the last ones. Sad.
vladeckk Not! They visited Nick's home town & then solved a murder on a gambling ship.
From east to west. Line it up here.
I was hoping to see this movie that I've enjoyed through the years. It used to be free on UA-cam but most of the old movies aren't free anymore. Ridiculous! Oh well. 🙄☹️🤨
They showed them hungover
Nora: What hit me?
Nick: The last martini.
I don't profess to be a film historian, but weren't these made during the Hays Code Era? I'm just surprised that they got away with half of this stuff.
jaspar38 Original just prior, thus the shot in the tabloids crack. Also Nora's lovely braless blouse in the final scene, inspiring Nick to throw Asta into the upper berth.
Also too the line, "What's that man doing in my drawers?" Nora says as police search a dresser was censorable.
I suggest not inventing a Nick and Nora drinking game, where you drink when they do. Very unhealthy.
Might want to space the drinks out to match a real timespan. Movies are abbreviated, so otherwise that'd be a week's worth of alcohol in 90min. 😨
@@eutytoalba A valid point :)
Who wants to invent a time machine so we can go back to 1934 and hang out with Nick and Nora? Any takers????
Not interested in being a servant.
I remember these but didn't appreciate how they made Powell's
character a SOT. People who stayed drunk all the time used to
wind up in the GUTTER.
It got so bad the movies were like COMMERCIALS for WHISKY.
The "Thin Man" films have never been "re-made"...why bother? How do you improve on a classic. There was a TV series in the 50's starring Peter Lawford -- set in modern times, but it was terrible
Where do you think Hart to Hart came from? McMillan & Wife? Nick & Nora are the template.
