    Storyline

    • Trivia
      Two tragedies befell William Powell prior to the making of this movie: the unexpected death of his fiancée, Jean Harlow, and a difficult battle with colon cancer that required colon bypass surgery and new radiation treatments. Production of this film was delayed as a result. Powell was given a standing ovation when he finally returned to the set for filming.
    • Goofs
      In the shot where Nora finds Asta's bone in little Nicky's crib, you'll see Asta poke his head through the bars of the crib and grab the bone from his hand with his mouth. In the very next shot, Asta is sitting obediently as Nora gives him the bone again.
    • Quotes

      Nora Charles: I got rid of all those reporters.

      Nick Charles: What did you tell them?

      Nora Charles: I told them we were out of scotch.

      Nick Charles: What a gruesome thought!

    The best intro to the Thin Man series
    I've heard others state that "Another Thin Man" is good but not *as* good as the first two Thin Man films. Some of this may be because this film is in many ways different from the first two and as a result may fail to meet the expectations of some who view the films in order.

    Some individual elements of "The Thin Man" may be stronger. However, as a stand-alone entity "Another Thin Man" it is the most entertaining film in the series and arguably has the most depth. This film succeeds with its dialog and its visuals, with its humor and its intrigue, and Powell and Loy are at their bantering best.

    Watching the previous films is in no way a prerequisite for understanding and enjoying "Another Thin Man." If you've never seen a Thin Man feature, watch this one first.
