Movie #711 ........................."Another Thin Man"
Movie #711 "Another Thin Man" is the third installment of the famous William Powell/Myrna Loy Thin Man series, of which I am a huge fan. I had not seen this one, that I can remember, but it turns out it is my least favorite. The little baby was cute, but they keep passing him around. They did put him into the movie as much as they could, and that was a nice addition to the series. And I must say, Nick has a lot of close shaves in this one, one in particular that was quite surprising, and the ending has a nice twist, but the secondary people aren't as interesting as they usually are --- I was too easily swayed away from watching it as I was viewing this movie the other night. I recommend the others first --- but it is always fun to watch a thin man movie!
3 stars out of 5.
Another Thin Man 1939 NR 105 minutes
Upper-crust private eyes Nick (William Powell) and Nora (Myrna Loy) -- along with faithful canine Asta -- return for a third installment of the popular series. They're invited to spend the weekend at the estate of munitions mogul Col. Burr MacFay (C. Aubrey Smith). After MacFay's ex-associate issues a death threat, Nick and Nora go into sleuthing mode when someone carries it out. But all is not what it seems in this stylish and entertaining whodunit.
