Critic Reviews

  • Frank S. Nugent, New York Times

    We're still appreciative, but we found too many chestnuts in the dressing.

  • Dave Kehr, Chicago Reader

    This 1939 release is still watchable, though the spirit is now sitcom.

    The atmosphere and sets, along with stellar performances by the principals, can't offset a weak story.

  • Steve Crum, Video-Reviewmaster.com

  • Christopher Null, Filmcritic.com

    Fans of the series will enjoy seeing their favorite couple continue to lightly spar and make those cross-cultural jabs, but the end result is decidedly tepid.

    Oh, how I love Powell and Loy; especially together. This is the fourth of the Thin Man series that I've seen, and so far, it was probably my least favorite. The formula is still there (mystery, comedy, and charm) and works quite well, but something felt off. According to… More
