This is it, the only way to purchase a great set of Thin Man movies. The set has the five Thin Man movies and a bonus disk:
The Thin Man (1934)
After the Thin Man (1936)
Another Thin Man (1939)
Shadow of the Thin Man (1941)
The Thin Man Goes Home (1945)
Song of the Thin Man (1947)
Alias Nick & Nora (Bonus disk)
There is some space left on each DVD, so they added some extras on each DVD in addition to the Bonus DVD. However, the fillers sometimes relate and at other times are just fillers.
The documentary of Nick, on the Bonus DVD, at first looks like a lot of sound bites of people parsing William Powell. Later, it settles down to be a good Biography of William Powell and shows some movies that need to be added to the collection.
The documentary of Nora on the Bonus DVD is narrated by Kathleen Turner and is not nearly as well put together.
There is also an episode of the TV series “The Thin Man” (1957-1959), Nick (Peter Lawford), Nora (Phyllis Kirk), which explains why it is off the air.
The movies themselves are quite crisp, which leads me to think they did a little cleaning up. A couple of places the sound seems to drop off; however, it is not drastic.
