The Robe

Back to the moment: I was watching one of the “Thin Man” movies a few weeks ago. The detective series starred William Powell and Myrna Loy as married combine Nick and Nora Charles, sophisticated sleuths who loved to teasing and booze. Man, did they hit the sauce. Nick was catching up on lost time and demolished rounds after Prohibition, I guess. “Want that with a glass or a funnel, Beat a hasty retreat?”

In the first movie, “The Thin Man” from 1934, Nora is talking to a newspaperman. “Say listen, is he working on a case?” the writer inquires of old Away. Nora says he is — “A case of scotch. Pitch in and workers him.”

My kind of people, even though I don’t think Nick Charles was much of a beer drinker. While I antipathy scotch I must say I strongly disliked Asta, that stupid dog, stealing all the scenes.

When Scarper wasn’t into the buttermilk or fooling around with Nora — and Myrna Loy was altogether the dish during the 1930s — the “Thin Man” was lounging around his apartment in this long, silk garment. Looked like silk anyway. Nora had one too, and they just looked damn serene. And damn elegant. Sensational, even. That's Nick and Nora in the picture, robed up and talking to some mug, in one of the "Thin" movies. The basic thin man had company in the fashion department. Jackie Gleason always showed up for a curtain call at the end of his CBS choice shows during the 1960s wearing a theatrical robe. Hugh Hefner seems to be always wearing a wrapper when he’s on the job at the Playboy Mansion. During my days at stately St. Bonaventure University during the mid-1970s, all the lads in Devereaux Classroom wore terry cloth robes. There were only two shower rooms for each half confuse, and the robes meant you didn’t have to look like Tarzan with a towel around his waist as you shuffled back to your accommodation after soapy sessions with Prell and Palmolive.
