Storyline
| Plot Summary |
Nick and Nora head to Nick's hometown of Sycamore Springs to spend some time with his parents. His father, a prominent local physician, was always a bit disappointed with Nick's choice of profession in particular and his lifestyle in general. With Nick's arrival however the towns folk, including several of the local criminal element, are convinced that he must be there on a case despite his protestations that he's just there for rest and relaxation. When someone is shot dead on his doorstep however, Nick finds himself working on a case whether he wants to or not. Written by garykmcd |

Did You Know?
| Trivia | Liberal drinking of alcohol, a mainstay of the first four "Thin Man" movies, was curtailed for this movie due to wartime liquor rationing. See more » |
| Goofs | It has been said that the rifle in the film was a Bren gun and not a Japanese weapon. However, the Nambu machine gun looks very much like a Bren gun. The stock is the most easily spotted give-away. The Bren gun's stock come straight back from behind the pistol grip right behind the trigger guard, while the Nambu's stock has a slight drop to it, right behind the pistol grip. The gun in this film is, in fact, a Japanese Nambu machine gun. See more » |
