Myrna Loy and William Powell in Shadow of the Thin Man (1941).
(via bigbobsbeepers)
Myrna Loy first met William Powell on the set of the movie ‘Manhattan Melodrama’. Their first scene involved Loy’s character forcing her way into Powell’s cab. However, when shooting began and she landed on his lap, instead of saying his scripted line, Powell said “Miss Loy, I presume?” Both actors dissolved into a fit of laughter.
It was the first one of fourteen movies they shot together.

“Any actor who has the chance to play opposite Myrna Loy is a lucky guy. The Thin Man would never have been the success it was without her. She has the give and take of acting that brings out the best. When we do a scene together, we forget about technique, camera angles and microphones. We aren’t acting—we are just two people in perfect harmony.”— William Powell on working with Myrna Loy, Screenland Magazine, March 1936
