This was a Gem of a movie series discovered in the Cinema History class at EKU in the mid-1980s. A highlight of the 1930s and with Prohibition ending in 1933 it assists in the context of this 1934 debut.
The instructor asked if any students watched Hart to Hart on TV. It was a popular program at the time on network television. It was good, but it was not this.
William Powell and Myrna Loy have great writing and give this series a timeless chemistry. Of course, Asta provides his skill and credit for his role as well.
In essence, Powell is a James Bond without the gadgets and add in a touch of Columbo's method to the madness, but with his one and only best girl; Loy, his wife.
The visuals on a big screen are excellent. The story telling brings the audience into the journey and into solving each mystery.
Masterful story telling, superb ensemble casting and Asta stealing scenes make this a Timeless Classic Series.

Hat-Tip: Director, W.S. Van Dyke for setting the standard.
