This collection contains five titles currently not on DVD that were made starring the well-known duo during the same time frame as their “Thin Man” series. With the exception of 1947′s “The Senator was Indiscreet”, this puts all of the Loy/Powell films on DVD. The extras described below are from a press release from Warner Home Video. The biggest let-down about this station is the lack of commentary for any of the films, but Warner probably figures with the amount of documentary material they set in the Thin Man Boxed Site, they would honest be going over faded territory. The films, in chronological order, are as follows:

Manhattan Melodrama (1934)
This is more of a movie with Powell and Loy than one about them as a couple. The focus is more on Clark Gable and William Powell, who play two orphans who grow up together but wind up on opposite sides of the law. Myrna Loy plays the woman that both characters savor. Gable plays the gangster in this film, Powell the guy who goes up the political ladder. The melodramatic share is that as D.A. Powell’s character wins a conviction against Gable’s character, and as a result he is sentenced to death. Later, as governor, Powell must resolve whether or not to commute his childhood friend’s sentence. Powell is very excellent here at playing a more serious role.

Evelyn Prentice (1934)
This one seems to miss a step as far as station holes go, but it is unruffled above average. Powell plays a defense attorney who is also piece detective, and whose heavy-duty work habits cause him to neglect his wife, played by Loy in the title role. As a result of this neglect, Loy commits an indiscretion with a playboy and ultimately figures into her husband’s next expansive slay case.

Double Wedding (1937)
This is a different kind of film for Powell and Loy. Loy plays high-powered businesswoman Margit Agnew who is sorrowful to learn that her miniature sister is planning to marry vagabond Charlie Lodge (William Powell) who, since he lives in a trailer, is hardly in a residence to relieve her. Margit tries to intervene, and in the raze winds up with Lodge herself. The space is thin, but the comedy is very safe. This film was shot partly before and after the death of Jean Harlow, who was Powell’s lover and Loy’s superb friend. Filming was suspended for awhile due to the tragedy.

· Classic cartoon “The Hound and the Rabbit”

I Cherish You Again (1940)
My accepted non-Thin Man Loy and Powell movie and showcases everything that is big about the chemistry the two had on hide. Powell plays stuffy and rich Larry Wilson, who, after a blow to the head, realizes he is actually confidence man George Carey. Wilson is unbiased some alternate identity he assumed after he first got amnesia nine years before. Realizing he has a sweet deal in his wealthy second identity, Carey decides to dapper out Wilson’s finances and leave town. However, when Carey meets Wilson’s estranged wife, played by Loy, he falls for her and decides to hang around long enough to obtain her support.

Love Crazy (1941)
Another wonderful entry in the Loy and Powell series of movies. After four years of marriage, Stephen Ireland (William Powell) runs into an obsolete girlfriend that lives nearby. The two destroy up fair talking, but a series of amusing misadventures cause Stephen’s wife, Susan (Myrna Loy), to fill Stephen is cheating on her and she decides to divorce Stephen. Desperate to support Susan, Stephen decides to pretend he is not in his legal mind to design things out. He does such a obedient job that everyone believes him – except his wife. There is some mountainous physical comedy here by Powell.

When it comes to shroud chemistry between two stars, there were probably only four that stood the test of time…Fred & Ginger, Flynn & de Havilland, Tracy & Hepburn, and my personal (non-musical) favorites, the unbeatable combination of WILLIAM POWELL and MYRNA LOY.
A million thank-you’s to those unbelievable folks at Warner Brothers who maintain managing to derive a blueprint to drain my bank balance…and I couldn’t be happier. Every situation from Warner is a winner, but this one is particularly intelligent, because I’ve practically old out my 6 Thin Man discs!
Here we win a broader spectrum of this terrific twosome. Their screwball shenanigans capture center stage in laugh-filled romps such as DOUBLE WEDDING, I Care For YOU AGAIN, and Cherish CRAZY. All hysterical. All worth countless viewings. Equally compelling are the more serious films in this residence, the box-office rupture MANHATTAN MELODRAMA, where CLARK GABLE shares the veil with Loy and Powell, and the highly underrated EVELYN PRENTICE which is a tremendous showcase for both Ms. Loy and Mr. Powell. All five films will be joined by extra features, as is always the Warner method.
If you only know these two as Gash & NORA, you’re in for even more fun…
and you might as well grasp up the already-available LIBELED LADY, which is truly one of the greatest comedies of all time.
Thank you Warner Home Video for honoring this terrific twosome so wonderfully!
