The newlywed couple, William Powell and Diana Lewis, arrive for the Ice Follies in Los Angeles, 1940.
Another Thin Man was the first movie Bill shot after his long battle with cancer. He had been absent from films for more than eighteen months, when he and Myrna Loy attended the press preview for the film, and one newspaper account said the crowd at the Academy Theatre in Inglewood “nearly took the roof off” when he appeared on screen. Reporter Dorothy Manners said the “welcoming roar from the critics (and those who paid their way in) got under Bill’s skin like nothing else before”. Powell usually was “the perfect sophisticate” both on and off screen, but not that night.

I’m not a ladies’ man. I haven’t the physical characteristics for one thing. Not handsome. Someone like Valentino should have played this part. Not Bill Powell.
