William Powell had such style! I loved the Thin Man movies so much that I got a wire fox terrier and named him Asta!!!!!!

IMO, Asta's best performance is as "Mr. Smith" in The Awful Truth (1937). His rapport with Cary Grant is sublime, topping even his chemistry with William Powell.

James Stewart, 1950:

Winchester '73
Broken Arrow
Harvey

Powell was the greatest actor to work with sartorial props. His hats were perfection; his suits, overcoats and gloves outrageous. Please, Powell fans, if you can look for "Double Harness" on Turner Classic Movies. It is a peach, and Ann Harding is fantastic in it. What really gets my attention, however, is Powell's character, John Fletcher's use of dress gloves. Wow, dress gloves and a suit and hat in all seasons, including summer. He wore dove grey or beige silk lined gloves in many seasons in this film, and did not look in the least affected. I can't think of another film so splendidly representing this style element so well.

Henry Fonda had a stellar year in 1939:

Amazing!

As an aside, my father was an extra in Drums Along the Mohawk. It was filmed in Utah.

I loved William Powell. He and Myrna Loy had the best chemistry. I read her autobiography (written with another author) years ago and was interested to read her thoughts on Powell.

Love, love, love William Powell. One of my all time top role models. Had a real Wm Powell mustache for a couple of shows a couple of years ago, and I'm very tempted to grow it back again. Coolness, suaveness, urbanity personified.

You can say that again! I especially love the "Thin Man" movies. He and Myrna Loy (WOW!) had wonderful chemestry. I also loved "Life With Father", co-starring Irene Dunn. I can't think of a single movie of his that I wouldn't watch over and over. Absolutly one of my favorites.:eusa_clap

It's from 1936, not '39, but I'm looking forward to seeing MY MAN GODFREY tomorrow evening in a Valentine's Day double-bill with EASY LIVING. It's my gal's first time to see both pictures (I've seen both several times), and I don't think she's seen very many William Powell movies.

She's in for a treat.

 

[imoldfashioned]

She's so lucky to be seeing them for the first time! Have a great time--double bills like that make me wish I lived in Manhattan.
