Did Nick and Nora's swan tune, The Song Of The Thin Man, try too hard to be hip and cool? Yep. Are some of the bits a tad forced? Yep. Is this, the sixth adventure of Mr. & Mrs. Charles, the worst in the series? Yep. You know what that means? Yes, it means that the worst Thin Man movies is still better than most.
For Nick and Nora's final bit of sleuthing and their first in a couple years (since the wonderful Thin Man Goes Home), they enter the ultra-hip, ultra-cool, slanged-out, jive-talking world of jazz, courtesy of their tour guide, hilarious reedman Keenan Wynn, who couldn't put together a sentence of straight Queen's English to save his shoe bottom (soul). Who killed the band leader? All I can say is, it wasn't Nick or Nora or Asta.
By 1947, William Powell's waistline has expanded and Myrna Loy long ago gave up the sheer, slinky gowns that had us all drooling, but they can still cut it, rug and all.
Were six Thin Man movies enough? Not for me.
