[edit] So, who is the Thin Man?

According to The Thin Man (film) it was "the lead suspect" but this is not correct. It's a while since I've seen the film, but the "thin man" was the murder victim. I can't remember exactly what happened but a body was found and was assumed to be the missing man but the clothing on the body was too large, and the missing man was "thin". Something like that, I can't remember exactly. The name became associated with William Powell who played Nick Charles, and who was quite tall and thin, and hence the movie sequels all used the term.
