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).

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.

Not going to claim Song of the Thin Man (1947) is the most focused investigations in the Thin Man series, but they sure made just about every scene a entertaining one. The type of lighthearted fun we'd want and expect when William Powell & Myrna Loy team-up. Add up-beat jazz music and Keenan Wynn to the silly shenanigans and you get energy pumped into the comedy too. Sadly this was the last one in the popular film series. I so want more!

Nick Charles is basically neutered by this point.

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 nice, 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.

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.

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.

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

Suffers from tail-end-of-a-series syndrome, and a director who apparently couldn't draw out the same magic as Van Dyke. Still, reasonably fun.

A slight return to the series' noirish origins and hints of criminal scumminess move things along, and at least Nora comes out on her own as a force of society, of sorts. Unsatisfactory as a conclusion to Nick and Nora, adding to the continued interest in this series, to be sure, but still a bittersweet farewell worth remembering.

Nick wearing a detective noir coat while investigating by a foggy port? Insommia? Visiting jazz joints in the middle of the night? Hell yeah! They really ramped up the action and mystery here, with a very extra ending, for one of the most charming murder solving couples of Golden Age Hollywood. So long Nick and Nora, I had a swell time
