Editorial Review:
At a charity gambling benefit aboard the S.S. Fortune the tables are hot the jazz is hotter and before you know it a bandleader's body is growing cold. They're playing your song Nick and Nora Charles! William Powell and Myrna Loy return as the married sleuths rousting suspects out of bed for 4 AM interrogations while trying to fathom the bebop argot of '40s jazz jive. Speaking of their renowned screen chemistry Loy once said: "It wasn't a conscious thing. If you heard us talking in a room you'd hear the same thing. He'd tease me and there was a sort of blending which seemed to please people." Decades later people are still pleased. The melody of Song of the Thin Man and the entire beloved series lingers on.Running Time: 86 min.Format: DVD MOVIE Genre: ACTION/ADVENTURE/THRILLERS UPC: 012569517622 Manufacturer No: 65176

Rating:  - Do you like Keenan Wynn?
A must have if you already own the other Thin Man movies and are a fan of William Powell and Myrna Loy. Keenan Wynn is the treat in this movie. Without his performance the movie would not hold up. What a great actor he was. In my opinion he steals the show.
Rating:  - So long, Asta
Elsewhere in this space I have praised to the sky Dashiell Hammet's contribution to American literature through innovative improvements in the detective genre. That remains true. I have also praised the original film of the Thin Man here as well. But in the present review we are down to the sixth and last sequel in this series and it shows. Gone is the bright repartee between Nick (played by William Powell) and Nora (played by Myrna Loy) that made the original work. As the series progressed these ... Read More
Rating: - "That's an old saying I just made up."
Song of the Thin Man is the last film of the highly popular detective series starring William Powell and Myrna Loy as Nick and Nora Charles. Here, the couple is dragged into another murder case when a man is killed at a popular nighclub. It seems that he was involved with several women and owed a few debts. He could have been killed by anyone, and the evidence points to several people. Inevitably, just when the duo gets close to solving the case, something happens to throw them off course.

Rating:  - Swan Song of the Thin Man
The film shows a gambling ship used for a charity event. The Charles' play and win at roulette. The band leader has an issue with the lead clarinet player. This band leader owes a pile of money ($12,000) that must be paid back soon - or else. A man enters a cabin to break into a locked chest. A gun shoots him. The murder of Tommy Drake makes front page news. At home Nicky Jr. must practice the piano, not play baseball. His refusal calls for a spanking.
Phil Brant is wanted for the murder. ... Read More
Rating: - Nick and Nora Charles stroll off arm-in-arm into the distance. We'll miss them
Song of the Thin Man is a sad-sweet experience, something like meeting a good friend you haven't seen in years and realizing how much affection you still have for him... but also how much you both have aged. It's been 13 years since The Thin Man appeared in 1934. We have to stop and remember that Nick Charles wasn't the thin man back then; that particular thin man was just one of the many murder victims Nick and Nora came across in their six movies. We remember the sophistication and insouciance of this ... Read More
