The Thin Man — Phil Tead
First and best of the famous whodunit series has the wisecracking, martini-sipping husband-and-wife sleuthing team of Nick and Nora Charles investigating the disappearance of an inventor who later is implicated in the murder of his secretary. The film, an adaptation of a Dashiell Hammett private-eye classic, was followed by five sequels. Incidentally, "The Thin Man" refers to the inventor, not Nick Charles.

Biography
About Phil Tead
Alternately billed as Phil Tead and Philips Tead, this slight, jug-eared character actor could easily have been taken for a young Walter Brennan (indeed, he has been in some film histories). After playing newspaperman Wilson in the 1931 version of The Front Page, he was thereafter typecast as a nosy reporter. He also portrayed several fast-talking radio commentators, most memorably in the Marx Brothers' Horse Feathers (1932) and Harold Lloyd's The Milky Way (1936).
Adopting a doddering comic quaintness in the 1950s, Phil Tead was occasionally seen as the absent-minded Professor Pepperwinkle on TV's Superman series.
