Editorial Review:
It's New Year's Eve Nick and Nora Charles have returned to the West Coast and the philandering hubby of Nora's cousin has gone missing. Round up the unusual suspects. The stars (plus the four-footed one!) writers and director of The Thin Man reunite for a giddy second comedy whodunit. Myrna Loy is Nora who by all accounts doesn't scold doesn't nag and looks far too pretty in the morning. William Powell is Nick retired from sleuthing but hardly retiring when it comes to a case more scrambled than the 3 A.M. eggs he whips up. And rising star James Stewart leads a tip-top supporting cast. "This is a fine way to start the New Year" Nick says as he springs Nora from lockup. Indeed it is.Running Time: 112 min.Format: DVD MOVIE Genre: MYSTERY/SUSPENSE UPC: 012569673762 Manufacturer No: 67376

Average Rating: 
Rating:  - "And You Call Yourself a Detective"
There's more fun to be had in this 1936 sequel to The Thin Man.
Nick and Nora Charles (William Powell and Myrna Loy) are returning home to San Francisco just in time for New Years. Instead of the early evening they had planned, they are summoned to a family dinner at Nora's Aunt Katherine's (Jessie Ralph). Only after dinner do they learn that Cousin Selma (Elissa Landi) is missing her husband. And they can't go to the police and get their names in the paper. So a reluctant Nick agrees ... Read More
Rating:  - Arguably greatest of the THIN MAN series
I bought the entire set (The Complete Thin Man Collection) to get this, my perennial favorite, before it was released individually. What W.S. Van Dyke did so well in The Thin Man, he topped and delivered even more of in this superb sequel. Even more affectionate banter between Nick and Nora, even more harebrained, screwy upper crusters, and the usual mob of colorful bottom dwellers from Nick's former life as a "flat foot." Everything about this film is better, including the photography, the sets, dialogue, ... Read More
Rating:  - A sequel that matches the original.
W.S. Van Dyke's "After the Thin Man," the first of five sequels to the original "Thin Man," is the best of the five and the only one that truly matched the consistent thrills and sprightly fun of the original. It picks up where the first movie left off, as Nick (William Powell) and Nora (Myrna Loy) come home to San Francisco from New York, where they receive a less-than-warm welcome from Nora's staid relatives, especially her choleric, cane-wielding Aunt Catherine (Jessie Ralph). Cousin Selma (Elissa Landi), ... Read More
Rating: - Moronic Magic
William Powell and Myrna Loy had a rapport that transcended the script in the many movies they made together. In the Thin Man series they had the aid of Asta (who often stole the show). The dialogue is often moronic but the end result is pure magic.
Rating: - Another Murder Mystery
The `Sunset Limited', using two engines, arrives in California. It was a three day trip from New York. A crowd of reporters greets Nick Charles. Their home overlooks San Francisco and the Bay bridge. They hoped for a quiet New Year's Eve, but a surprise party is in full blast. Nora's cousin telephones for help; Selma is afraid. Aunt Catherine invites them to a family dinner. [The partying and drinking must contrast to the viewer's lives at that time.] At the dinner they hear that Selma's husband Robert is missing. ... Read More
