The Thin Man films influenced real bartending. A 1930s cocktail manual referenced a ‘Nick Charles-style’ martini: dry, elegant, and unfussy.

Powell considered Nick Charles the favorite role of his career. He reportedly felt close to Nick’s worldview: amused detachment paired with moral clarity.

Cocktails in the film signify class, not excess. The desperate characters drink nervously or off-camera.

Only the first film was based on a Dashiell Hammett novel, the remaining five films were produced from MGM in-house writers.

Despite being a sequel, this film earned MGM almost the same amount of box office as the original, cementing this as a series.

Jimmy Stewart, a fairly obscure character actor, is perhaps best known for The Ice Follies of 1939. #TCMParty #AfterTheThinMan

Pre-war martinis used far more vermouth than modern martinis. A typical 1936 martini was 2 parts vermouth and 1 part gin.

I think Asta gets more reaction shots than some of the human actors.

Nick’s casual daytime drinking would have been shocking a decade earlier. After the repeal of prohibition (in 1933), public, fashionable drinking became respectable.
