  • The Thin Man
    THE THIN MAN Screenplay by Frances Goodrich and Albert Hackett Based on the novel by Dashiell Hammett Shooting Draft, 1935 Property of M.G.M FADE IN: EFFECT SHOT: THE SHADOW OF THE THIN MAN! The shadow, grotesquely thin, is cast by one strong light which reflects itself against a white cement wall. When we first see the shad-ow, it is standing upright, examining some- thing which it holds in its hands. Now the shadow bends down and as it does so, CAMERA PULLS BACK TO REVEAL CLYDE WYNANT in his work-shop. He is a tall, thin man of about fifty-five, with white hair. He has a fine, sensi- tive face. He is a very successful inventor. A man who is capable of sudden fits of anger which he forgets almost immediately, but which are quite terrifying while they last. Just now he is utterly absorbed in what he is doing -- working on a delicately-wired part which has to do with a new form of combustion engine that he has invented. (Through the entire scene, from the first shadow effect, we hear the engine in operation as he is working over it.) Wynant is dressed in overalls, and possibly a long shade over his eyes. The shop itself is in the base- ment of a small warehouse building, in the thirties between First Avenue and the East River, in New York. It is a long and narrow machine shop, full of interest and character in its mechanical layout. Miniatures of engine-models of various kinds -- vats of molten lead -- carbon racks -- welding instruments -- delicate light bulbs, and such other apparatus as composes a combination shop and laboratory of this machine type.
