Fast and Loose (1939)
Annabella 1 points 2 years ago.

Concerned about leading-man William Powell’s diagnosed cancer and trying to to keep up with the demand for mad cap sleuthing couples following the success and huge popularity of the “Thin Man” series of films, MGM produced 3 films featuring Joel and Garda Sloan:
Fast Company (1938)
Fast and Loose (1939)
Fast and Furious (1939)
These three films stared three different couples and were well received but MGM went on to produce several more “Thin Man” films when Powell recovered from his cancer “scare” due, in great part to ground breaking (remember, it’s the 1930’s!) experimental radiation treatments . . .
