The Thin Man franchise includes six movies in total released between 1934 and 1947, all with confusingly similar names, but with a specific order.
Summary SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT Despite being released nearly 90 years ago, The Thin Man is still a very watchable classic movie, especially during the holidays, however, with six similarly named films making up the franchise, it can be unclear how exactly they should be watched. The Thin Man, released in 1934, is a mystery comedy movie based on a novel of the same name by Dashiell Hammett.
Overall, The Thin Man franchise is unique because of its longevity and its relation to the holidays. It isn't often that a movie made in the 1930s remains relevant to modern audiences, but The Thin Man has done it. Furthermore, though the best classic holiday movies can range in genre, a mystery is definitely not the most common type of holiday movie. Both of these qualities make The Thin Man a stand-out film, and worth the watch for anyone who hasn't seen it.
The so-called "thin man" of The Thin Man franchise was originally referring to the missing man Nick Charles is searching for, Clyde Wynant. However, the consequent sequels were named with the intention of Nick being the "thin man."
