Nick and Nicky

An intoxicating Cosmo of a movie, with just the right mix of humor, glamour and suspense. Plus a twist of romance. "Nick & Nicky" is a frothy homage to the "Thin Man" comedy-mysteries of yore, and gay as all get-out. The actors, the settings, the costumes: all gorgeous.

If you're going to update "The Thin Man", you have got to do something different. Director Marcus Slabine & screenwriter Patrick Askin have certainly done that. "Nick and Nicky" is a fun, boozy whodunit with memorable characters and lively dialog. Mr. Askin is charming as Nick, the never-without-a-cocktail private eye who must solve a series of murders before his wedding to Nicky (an appealing Ian Whitt). The supporting cast shines in this film, particularly Sean Young as Nicky's acerbic mom, Tyler Hollinger as a manic tabloid reporter and especially Deborah Twiss as the police detective who reluctantly teams up with Nick.

As with all good mysteries, the culprit is revealed at an elegant dinner party. This is the highlight of the film, as Nick must weed his way through a considerable contingent of colorful suspects to get to the guilty party.

So grab a drink, enjoy and please pay special attention to the distinctive décor found in one suspect's salon. I believe this might be a first for cinema.

Who says they don't make them like they used to!! They've literally brought back the classics with this twist on the mad-ball comedy/mystery film. Nick and Nicky has a delightful cast, witty dialogue and clever whodunit plot. Glorious "technicolor" costumes and sets and Manhattan in all it's glory! What else can you want......Cary Grant and Randolph Scott?

Outstanding actors in a delightful romp wrapped around a mystery. And those costumes...yum!

A style reminiscent of Hollywood 30's and 40's. And what wedding doesn't come with a little drama. But this one ends up entwined in a murder mystery in the middle of it all. Will the wedding actually happen? Will the murder be solved? Sit back and enjoy the comedy and suspense as this wealthy gay couple navigate it all.
