“I don’t like that flatfoot snooping around town.”
The penultimate Thin Man movie has Nick & Nora visiting Nick’s parents when, of course, a murder is committed. This one gives us a look at Nick’s background, including that he grew up in a very MGM small town and that his doctor father is disappointed that Nick didn’t follow in his footsteps. As the story progresses, the father learns to appreciate what a great detective Nick is. There’s also a WWII spy angle and a recurring joke about Nick’s newfound sobriety.William Powell and Myrna Loy are great as ever with that fun chemistry we all love so much. One of my favorite Myrna Loy scenes in the entire series is the one here where she tells Nick’s father about the Stinky Davis case. It’s hilarious! Nick, Jr. is absent from this one but Asta is still around, albeit played by a different dog this time. The great supporting cast includes Lucille Watson, Harry Davenport, Lloyd Corrigan, Donald MacBride, Leon Ames, Edward Brophy, Helen Vinson, Donald Meek, Morris Ankrum, and a scenery-chewing Gloria DeHaven (“Just call me…Laurabelle.”). It’s the first Thin Man film not directed by Woody Van Dyke, who died in 1943. Perhaps that’s why the movie has a different feel to it than prior entries in the series, although I’m sure we can most probably chalk it up to the changing times and tastes. More than a decade had passed since the first Thin Man film, after all. Still, it’s an enjoyable movie that most fans of the series will love. It’s hard to miss with Powell and Loy.
So good I popped my vest buttons!
This is the fourth sequel to the 1934 smash hit THE THIN MAN. Just when I would have thought the series was dead the producers and writers were able to add life to the franchise.Nick goes home and of course gets dragged into another murder mystery. Nora, who by now should no longer be curious to see Nick solve a mystery, tries to get Nick to solve a murder mystery so he can impress his father the medical doctor. Nick’s father had always hoped his son would have become a doctor and when Nick became a cop and then detective he looked down on him. As far as the mystery goes it follows the typical THIN MAN formula. A bunch of suspects are introduced and in the end Nick rounds them all up and reveals the killer.
The comedy is better than ever. Rather than have Nick always drinking and having jokes centered around his drinking Nick is now sober. The jokes are even funnier because everyone believes he is still a drunk and he just can’t convince them otherwise. The scene in his Dad’s parlor is hilarious. Nick is stone sober but due to a series of mishaps he is on the floor and appears to all to be drunk as ever. Also, when Nick recounts his childhood to Nora and tells her of his trips to the wood shed that brings back memories of my childhood and trips to the wood shed.
This is my second favorite THIN MAN movie. Right behind AFTER THE THIN MAN and just before the original THIN MAN. It is an almost perfect blend of mystery and comedy.
