William Powell & Myrna Loy Documentary DVD - 'A True Gentleman' & 'So Nice to Come Home To' Biographies | Classic Hollywood Films Collection | Perfect for Film Historians & Vintage Cinema Lovers

Real Life - This is a documentary that is both educational and entertaining. The video follows Myrna Loy and William Powell through their careers beginning with the silent films and going through "talkies" and the more recent films. I have been a fan of Nick & Nora for years, but I still learned things I didn't know before.Powell played a villain for years. He enjoyed the roles and added to the dimensions of the characters.He finally moved on to bigger parts and playing the lead characters.Loy played a foreign type of siren in many films, until film makers finally realized she had her own personality and appeal. The documentary tells a lot about Myrna Loy's work with our soldiers and the USO. She devoted a bit part of her life, when she could have been making movies, to helping our troops.On Screen - We watch as Nick & Nora get married and raise a son, Nicky. He grows older as they do. They seem like real people, and the public even thinks they are really married. Myrna Loy said, even better - we are friends. Their films as a collection show that marriage can be a partnership and wives are not just "the little woman."Nick & Nora's dog Asta was quite a character himself. There are several scenes where he "steals" the show.
