Everything You Ever Need To Know About Life...

... you can learn from:


Nick Charles: Have you made any New Year's resolutions? 
Nora Charles: Not yet. Any complaints or suggestions? 
Nick Charles: A few. 
Nora Charles: Which? 
Nick Charles: Complaints. 
Nora Charles: All right shoot. 
Nick Charles: Well, you don't scold, you don't nag, 
and you look far too pretty in the mornings. 
Nora Charles: All right, I'll remember: must scold, must nag, 
musn't be too pretty in the mornings. 

Good morning, world - the great William Powell was born 122 years ago today! Everybody be on your classiest, wittiest behavior. Wear a silk robe or a smoking jacket at some point. And drink, drink, drink.

Were two performers ever more in sync then Bill & Myrna? Such effortless charm.

Seems July 29th was a good day to be born if you wanted to be a star in early Hollywood. Not only William Powell but Clara Bow, Theda Bara and Thelma Todd were all born on this day.

Agree w/Joel65913. Nick and Nora were the epitome of cool, sophisticated charm.

After the first "Thin Man" movie, the films were a little iffy, but Powell and Loy's performances were always a pure delight.
