[The original] was a miracle but also a dead end: it can hardly be bettered and there is no constructive use in imitating it.

The two leading players seem to have a swell time throughout.

Surprisingly successful sequel to the delightful, Dashiell Hammett-based comedy-mystery, The Thin Man, with Powell and Loy as charmingly witty as ever.

There’s more atmosphere, as well as a spicier mystery...

I am happy to report that, while it will not be as fresh to you as the original Dashiell Hammett production, After The Thin Man is a very successful sequel.

... it’s the cocktail chemistry between the blasé Powell and the elegantly sexy Loy that makes this snappy sequel crackle.

"After the Thin Man" aka "The Further Adventures of Nick and Nora, featuring Astra the Wonder Dog." A hefty measure of character actors thrown in, plus Jimmy Stewart in an early role.

I thoroughly enjoyed The Thin Man, so I was excited to see this follow-up film, After the Thin Man. William Powell & Myrna Loy still make a wonderful pair, although it seems like this film gives Loy less to do, which was disappointing. She's a talented actress. I also felt the storyline of this sequel was a little more difficult to follow than the original movie, or maybe I was just tired. I may need to give it another viewing. Nevertheless, I was entertained while watching it, and it was fun to see a young Jimmy Stewart. I look forward to seeing the next film in this franchise, Another Thin Man.

The first "Thin Man" was great, but I like "After the Thin Man" even better. William Powell and Myrna Loy, as Nick and Nora Charles, are the archetype sophisticated couple. No one since has come close. Great casting of the supporting roles fills out the story exquisitely. Wow, could those old studios serve up wonderful acting for all kinds of characters! My favorite is Aunt Katherine, the battle ax to end all battles axes, played by Jessie Ralph; and Henry, the rickety old butler played by, would you believe, Tom Ricketts. As usual, the dialog sparkles. And the story is great-- a nice Dashiell Hammett whodunit with a not-too-complicated plot that leads to a surprise ending. The encounter between Nora's family and Nick -- "Poor Nora!" -- is worth the price of admission. I grin every time I think about it.

Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars
