Classic film fans will no doubt often associate William Powell with Myrna Loy–and vice versa–largely due to their on-screen pairings in the Thin Man film series as well as other films. They had a natural, engaging chemistry with one another that was evident on the screen and offered delightful performances as Nick and Nora Charles, in addition to other roles.
Rob Kozlowski’s Becoming Nick & Nora: The Thin Man and the Films of William Powell and Myrna Loy offers a thorough, in-depth look at the work of Powell and Loy–together and apart. Kozlowski crafts an especially fascinating overview of Powell and Loy’s solo work, delving into the types of roles and typecasts these actors faced before frequently working with one another.
Of course, readers will also immensely enjoy learning about their relationship off-screen as well as exploring the process and production of many of their beloved films. This book is not to be missed by fans of Powell, Loy, screwball comedy, and classic comedy.
