Featured review
Ah, yes, I remember it well
I was a child when "The Thin Man" was on television but for some reason, I remember it very clearly. I think I was completely captivated by the sheer sophistication of Nick and Nora Charles and the fact that they lived in an apartment in New York City. Growing up in a house and not in New York City, this was fascinating to me.
What I remember most is how beautiful Phyllis Kirk was and what glorious clothes she wore. Kirk and Lawford seemed a most glamorous couple, and I have a feeling their relationship colored my own ideas about an ideal marriage - rich and childless.
I purchased the series, and I have to say I still love it even though the stories aren't much. What I did pick up on right away is that Hart to Hart is an exact ripoff, right down to the car in the beginning, the lovey-dovey relationship, and the sophistication. Hart to Hart really doesn't copy the Hammett Thin Man series.
This show was an attempt by MGM to get into TV and capitalize on one of their properties, and it didn't make it. Many years later, I had a chance to see the wonderful movies on which the series was based. You really can't compare the shows to the films.
