After The Thin Man (Episode 9) - Hot Date with Dan and Vicky

After the success of the The Thin Man in 1934, MGM was eager to get stars William Powell and Myrna Loy back in front of the cameras for a sequel.  It took two years and, if film lore is to be believed, some financial courting of Loy but, with a new story from Dashiell Hammett, the country's favorite sleuthing couple was at it again in the 1936 follow-up, After The Thin Man.

Returning to San Francisco from New York celebrities after solving the Thin Man case, Nick and Nora Charles have barely popped the New Year's champagne before they're embroiled in their next mystery.  But this time it's personal.  The husband of Nora's cousin has disappeared, setting in motion a chain of deceit, blackmail and murder. Along for the ride are their adorable and mischievous wire fox terrier Asta, a supporting cast of eccentric and hilarious characters and a young Jimmy Stewart.

In addition to swooning over the chemistry between Powell and Loy, Dan and Vic discuss the summer adventures that took them from Maine to the Dominican Republic, give their thoughts on the prevalence of true crime shows set in Florida and Canada and commiserate on living and renovating in the Big Apple.
