Einkunnir og umsagnir

After seeing this movie only half a million times I was pleasantly surprised when I read the Dashiell Hammett book and saw how faithful the movie is to the book. But back to the movie... what? Why are you still here? William Powell... Myrna Loy... they were a class act the likes of which are rare and far between. No, no don't pay attention to the plot - it just gets in the way. Go on. Rent it!

This is one of my favorite movies of all time. Myrna Loy is quick witted and William Powell is smart as always! If you haven't watch this film, it's worth your time!

Perfect blend of comedy and mystery. Powell and Loy have some of the best on screen chemistry ever. Definitely a classic to watch over and over again.
