Review of The Thin Man Goes Home (1944) by Brian W — 10 Jan 2009
In some ways this is my favorite of the Thin Man movies. Which is weird because it does feature a couple stupid moments with the dog. But mainly, I think it's because it takes the Nick and Nora we've already met and puts them in a situation completely foreign to them: a small town.
Specifically, Nick's home town where he has almost as bad a relationship with his father as he does with his in-laws. It is fun getting to see the sophisticated duo interact with the people of a town like Mayberry or Bedford Falls.
And the murder-mystery is about as good as that in any of the other movies, if more light and friendly feeling with less seedy characters.
