This collection contains five titles currently not on DVD that were made starring the noted duo during the same time frame as their “Thin Man” series. With the exception of 1947’s “The Senator was Indiscreet”, this puts all of the Loy/Powell films on DVD. The extras described below are from a press release from Warner Home Video. The biggest let-down about this state is the lack of commentary for any of the films, but Warner probably figures with the amount of documentary material they keep in the Thin Man Boxed State, they would impartial be going over extinct territory. The films, in chronological order, are as follows:

Manhattan Melodrama (1934)

This is more of a movie with Powell and Loy than one about them as a couple. The focus is more on Clark Gable and William Powell, who play two orphans who grow up together but wind up on opposite sides of the law. Myrna Loy plays the woman that both characters esteem. Gable plays the gangster in this film, Powell the guy who goes up the political ladder. The melodramatic section is that as D.A. Powell’s character wins a conviction against Gable’s character, and as a result he is sentenced to death. Later, as governor, Powell must determine whether or not to commute his childhood friend’s sentence. Powell is very gracious here at playing a more serious role.

Evelyn Prentice (1934)

This one seems to miss a step as far as dwelling holes go, but it is collected above average.

Double Wedding (1937)

This is a different kind of film for Powell and Loy. Loy plays high-powered businesswoman Margit Agnew who is dejected to learn that her puny sister is planning to marry vagabond Charlie Lodge (William Powell) who, since he lives in a trailer, is hardly in a plot to help her. Margit tries to intervene, and in the destroy winds up with Lodge herself. The residence is thin, but the comedy is very excellent.

I Fancy You Again (1940)

My popular non-Thin Man Loy and Powell movie and showcases everything that is large about the chemistry the two had on shroud. Powell plays stuffy and rich Larry Wilson, who, after a blow to the head, realizes he is actually confidence man George Carey. Wilson is impartial some alternate identity he assumed after he first got amnesia nine years before. Realizing he has a sweet deal in his wealthy second identity, Carey decides to well-kept out Wilson’s finances and leave town.

Love Crazy (1941)

Another splendid entry in the Loy and Powell series of movies. After four years of marriage, Stephen Ireland (William Powell) runs into an musty girlfriend that lives nearby. The two demolish up impartial talking, but a series of laughable misadventures cause Stephen’s wife, Susan (Myrna Loy), to enjoy Stephen is cheating on her and she decides to divorce Stephen. Desperate to support Susan, Stephen decides to pretend he is not in his legal mind to diagram things out. He does such a expedient job that everyone believes him - except his wife. There is some mountainous physical comedy here by Powell.

When it comes to camouflage chemistry between two stars, there were probably only four that stood the test of time…Fred & Ginger, Flynn & de Havilland, Tracy & Hepburn, and my personal (non-musical) favorites, the unbeatable combination of WILLIAM POWELL and MYRNA LOY.

A million thank-you’s to those astonishing folks at Warner Brothers who withhold managing to get a arrangement to drain my bank balance…and I couldn’t be happier. Every location from Warner is a winner, but this one is particularly tantalizing, because I’ve practically dilapidated out my 6 Thin Man discs!

Here we catch a broader spectrum of this terrific twosome. Their screwball shenanigans seize center stage in laugh-filled romps such as DOUBLE WEDDING, I Cherish YOU AGAIN, and Appreciate CRAZY. All hysterical. All worth countless viewings. Equally compelling are the more serious films in this status, the box-office demolish MANHATTAN MELODRAMA, where CLARK GABLE shares the shroud with Loy and Powell, and the highly underrated EVELYN PRENTICE which is a broad showcase for both Ms. Loy and Mr. Powell. All five films will be joined by extra features, as is always the Warner map.

If you only know these two as Crop & NORA, you’re in for even more fun…

and you might as well capture up the already-available LIBELED LADY, which is truly one of the greatest comedies of all time.

Thank you Warner Home Video for honoring this terrific twosome so wonderfully!
