RETURN OF THE THIN MAN

For fans of Dashiell Hammett—here’s a dramatic audio presentation of two screen stories written as sequels to the movie THE THIN MAN. Previously unpublished, these stories were outlines for scriptwriters who developed the full screenplays for the next two movies in the series: RETURN OF THE THIN MAN and ANOTHER THIN MAN. This dramatic presentation includes a full cast and a narration that provides screen directions. The vocalizations may seem a bit over-the-top for today’s listeners but are appropriate for the era. Peter Ganim and Nicola Barber shine as the witty Nick and Nora Charles, and Scott Brick’s narration securely anchors the story. Along with the enactments are commentaries that place these screen stories in context and provide welcome backstory. M.L.R. © AudioFile 2012, Portland, Maine [Published: NOVEMBER 2012]
