An Interesting Time Capsule
Get TV just started running episodes of The Thin Man and at first I found I couldn't watch more than a few minutes before moving on to something else.
Eventually I got around to watch an entire episode and was fascinated. Not only are the prints crystal clear and without blemish, but the cars, clothes and guest stars are fascinating.
Then I became unable to take my eyes off spooky Phyllis Kirk with her Moe Howard bangs, crazy eyes and painted over Mommie Dearest Mouth. I remembered her from an appropriately creepy episode of The Twilight Zone'
After that came great pleasure from her reedy, yet husky voice and the wardrobe by Helen Rose.
Add in Peter Lawford and loving close-ups of both, and the thin plots and story lines become secondary.
The dialog is pretty witty for 50s TV, far better than the dumbed down lines in a great many TV shows of the 60s.
Flawed but a lot of fun. I think I'd buy the series if it ever comes to DVD to go along with another 50s favorite: Perry Mason.
