Did Nick and Nora's swan song, "Song Of The Thin Man," try just a tad too hard to be hip and cool? Yep.
You know what that means? It means, so what? It means that what many consider the least popular of the Thin Man movie 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 world of jazz, courtesy of their tour guide, reed-man 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 slightly 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.
