Happy Valentine's Day From The Charles Family!

Perhaps they were not as dashing as Errol Flynn and Olivia de Haviland, nor as sassy as Bogie and Bacall, but for overall fun, my favorite screen couple was William Powell and Myrna Loy as Nick and Nora Charles.  MovieFanFare provides a great insight into this long-lived screen romance.  Happy Valentine's Day!
Nick and Nora Charles were the ultimate screen couple, husband and wife detectives, always in step and never missing an opportunity to outwit one another as they solved each crime, which they did just in time for the movie's ending. Myrna Loy (bio; videography) was a fantastic Nora, the ideal wife and considering she made 14 movies with William Powell, she made it look like they were really married... really!
