Amusing followup to "The Thin Man" has Nick and Nora trying to solve another murder mystery while finding plenty of time to flirt and drink. Powell and Loy are as charming as ever and have perfect chemistry as the married detectives. Asta has some cute scenes and there's even a Mrs. Asta. In the last of eight films of his released in 1936, Stewart plays a lovesick young fellow. The plot is somewhat convoluted, involving too many characters, but the dialog delivers enough chuckles to keep it entertaining. Interestingly, this and all subsequent films include "Thin Man" in the title although a character with that description appears in only the first film.
