Yes, yes, yes!! Any of the Nick and Nora movies and then — Katherine Hepburn and Cary Grant in Bringing Up Baby is another one that is ever so perfect.
I think that’s why I’m still single. Myrna Loy spoiled me for all other women.
One they missed: Shortly after the crowd of men around Nora’s table in the club dissolves, she asks him how he found her. He says, “I just looked around for a woman surrounded by the biggest crowd of men in the room. I knew that meant just one thing — a rich woman.”
This question would probably have been more appropriate at Dirty Harry’s Place (I think it would just get lost in “Big Hollywood”), but since Floyd brought up Nick and Nora, it ends up here in Threedonia.
If you’ve seen “Lock, Stock, and Two Smoking Barrells”, you may remember Rory Breaker (the “psychotic black dwarf in an afro”) addressing Nick the Greek as “Nihh-Koe-Luss”. Everytime I’ve heard that I’ve had to wonder if it’s a Guy Ritchie allusion to Aunt Hattie’s exagerated mode of address when it came to Nick in the movie Floyd clipped.

(Or words to that effect.)

Any thoughts?
Perhaps… I’d wager Guy Ritchie is a Dashiell Hammett and/or Thin Man movie fan.
