abstract:The Thin Man is a half-hour weekly television series based on the mystery novel The Thin Man (1933) by Dashiell Hammett. The 72 episodes were produced by MGM Television and shown on NBC for two seasons from 1957–1959 on Friday evening.
In Mr. Drillot's relentlessly harsh lighting, Mr. Lagerfeld's dirndl-waisted skirts (think frumpy gym-class uniforms) and thin tops made both the men's and women's physiques look lumpy.
