The jaunty whodunit that made William Powell and Myrna Loy the champagne elite of sleuthung. Nick and Nora Charles combine screwball romance with mystery.

Wise-cracking alcoholics solve a mystery.

Delightful. I loved the book, and Powell and Loy are just as perfect as Nick and Nora as everyone says they are. There is a frustrating lot of movie in which they're not around, though.
