Films Of The Week

A convenient listing of the
week's films. Commercial
schedules subject to change.

TONIGHT

The Thin Man (Wilson Hall,
7 & 9 p.m.; .75 or series
pass). Directed by W.S. Van
Dyke. "The Thin Man started a
new cycle in screen
entertainment by
demonstrating that a murder
mystery could also be a
sophisticated comedy. As Nick
and Nora Charles, William
Powell and Myrna Loy shocked
and delighted the country by
indicating that a married
couple didn't have to suffer
and adjust and learn to live
with each other...(The Thin
Man has one of the classic
moments of thirties comedy:
William Powell taking the gun
his complaisant wife has just
given him for Christmas and
shooting the ornaments off the
tree)."–Kael
