7/10
See it for Keenan Wynn, at the very least
11 September 2003
Enjoyable final Thin Man film with Mr. and Mrs. Charles investigating the death of a jazz musician. Of the three Thin Man movies I've seen, I don't think I ever really was able to follow the convoluted mystery plots, not because they were beyond me, but because I didn't care much. I find them rather uninteresting. But William Powell and Myrna Loy are both so wonderful, and their chemistry so perfect that the films are never less than fun to watch. I enjoyed this one quite a bit, especially the jazz music that accompanies the plot. The supporting cast is excellent, especially Keenan Wynn, who gives a hilarious performance as a jive-talking clarinetist. It's very amusing watching Nick and Nora trying to understand his hip slang. Wynn is definitely the highlight of the picture. There are a lot of beautiful female co-stars as well, including Gloria Grahame, Patricia Morison, and Bess Flowers. 7/10.
