There were several movies, decades ago, featuring a detective called "The
Thin Man."  I wonder if it was the same character.  I also remember a radio
detective who was called "The Fat Man."  The intro was "he tips the scales
at 250 lbs, his fortune DANGER!"  or something like that anyway--it was
awhile ago.
