the last outing of the thin man series is, predictably, the weakest. i've not given a single of the six a good score per se, but if you've got to pick one to not watch pick this one. i have to give props to powell and loy for sticking it out this long, though.

This concludes the Thin Man series in which most of the instalments are about equally good (or equally average, I should say), except the marvellous original.

An enjoyable trifle, following the pattern of the rest of the series almost verbatim. The final unraveling of the mystery happens in a lazier manner than the other films, with Nick basically giving the play by play himself rather than through a Q & A with the suspects. The added element of music to this film was a nice element, but there isn't much more to do with the series. The fast and snappy pace of the early films just isn't matched here.

great music but my least favorite of the series.

The only one of the series not to quite hit the mark, mainly in it's conclusion. The result was obvious and the end was flat. But still amazing for a 6th movie in a series.

Last of the series, and one of the best! Tighter and more noirish than the others, with such thick chunks of dialogue in places (especially toward the beginning) that you can almost hear the actors crunching on the syllables. Featuring Dean Stockwell as a kid, Marie Windsor as a brunette, and Keenan Wynn without a mustache (as an impossibly jive-talking, slap-happy reed man). We also discover that the Charleses live in a hobbit house (the knob being located in the exact middle of the door).

A fun picture, but Nick Charles is by this point an almost entirely different character from the first picture made a dozen years earlier.
