TCMParty is hosting a live watch of After The Thin Man tonight, with viewers praising Myrna Loy’s performance and the film’s 1930s San Francisco location shots, including Nick and Nora driving down Market Street and the approach to Coit Tower on Telegraph Hill. Commenters singled out the Asta sideplot and called Jimmy’s child scenes a breath of fresh air, while one viewer noted that Nick and Nora are named in the title cards before the film title, underlining how quickly the characters became iconic. Participants also referenced a dance number, “Blow That Horn,” performed by Penny Singleton, and quoted a gag about the Sullivan Act versus the Mann Act from the script. Several viewers posted small domestic reactions during the screening, such as a kitten and a dog responding to the film on their TVs, and one shared a personal photo and note that Bill Powell returned to work after a two-year bout with cancer. Others said they were DVRing the rest of the party to catch additional Thin Man facts and background presented during the event.
