Evelyn Prentice (1934)
William Powell and Myrna Loy are once again paired together in Evelyn Prentice, although this one was early on for the famous team. Released the same year as The Thin Man, it’s a completely different tone for both of them. Bill is an intelligent, workaholic lawyer instead of an alcoholic socialite. Myrna is a neglected wife with a wandering eye instead of a faithful partner in crime. With a very solid performance from Myrna and unexpected plot twists, I’d definitely recommend this one.
There are quite a few recognizable faces in the supporting cast, including an early Rosalind Russell (who later joked that she got the parts Myrna Loy turned down) and Una Merkel. Una is a loyal friend of Myrna’s with good intentions, and Roz is a high class client of Bill’s. Harvey Stephens is the playboy who sets his sights on Myrna and won’t take no for an answer. Keep an eye out for Edward Brophy, Jessie Ralph, and a performance from the Nicholas Brothers. Check out this forgotten oldie; it’s even more entertaining than The Thin Man!
