1934: The Thin Man

As you might expect from something based on a Dashiel Hammett novel, this mystery-comedy is confusing at times, but the point of the movie isn't the plot anyway, but the display of wittiness in general and the back-and-forth between William Powell and Myrna Loy in particular. Which is decently done, but Bringing up Baby this is not. (6)
