In this appealing sequel to THE THIN MAN, Nick (William Powell) and Nora (Myrna Loy) return home to Nob Hill, San Francisco, from their detective adventures in New York to find a murder among their very own family. One murder leads to another, and the quick-quipping sleuths and their faithful dog, Asta, are soon buried under a wealth of conflicting clues. The Thin Man films remain one of the few detective series to successfully combine murder with comedy, and AFTER THE THIN MAN matches the quality of the original film step for step. With a nightclub figuring prominently into the plot, AFTER THE THIN MAN offers the added enticement of several songs, including "Smoke Dreams" and "Blow that Horn," while a young Jimmy Stewart turns up the charm and the laughs in a supporting role.

After the Thin Man boasts two things that the original lacks; a much more engaging caper, and a first-rate performance by a shockingly young Jimmy Stewart.

In the view of many fans, After the Thin Man (1936) is the best episode in the series; and I can't say I disagree.
