Myrna Loy: So Nice to Come Home to

Witty, warm, sexy and sophisticated.

Directed by
Runtime
46 min
Documentary

Synopsis

This tribute to Myrna Loy is presented in chronological order and includes a selection of photographs, numerous film clips, a few personal appearances, and an in-depth commentary provided on camera by Kathleen Turner. Turner guides the viewer through Loy's career, beginning with her work as a dancer and her early roles as an actress often typecast as an exotic figure. She later emerges as a mature woman—sharp-witted, graceful, refined, and alluring—as seen in *Manhattan Melodrama* and *The Thin Man*. Loy's volunteer efforts during World War II, her later stage performances, and her progressive political views are also highlighted. The tribute emphasizes her distinctive style, most clearly seen in her portrayals of wives who are both charming and independent.

How many hands made this film

The scale of the collaboration

Principal cast & crew: 15

These are the principals we have on file — the full crew ran to the hundreds. Every film this size was made by far more hands than any credits list ever names.

Why a floor?

This is a minimum, not a total. We only count the credits we’ve captured so far, and coverage is uneven — a blockbuster might show a few hundred names while another of the same size shows a couple dozen. The real crews all ran into the thousands. The number here only grows as full credits are enriched — so we frame it as a floor, never a headcount.
