After the Thin Man (Blu-ray) Warner Archive

It is New Years Eve, Nick and Nora Charles have returned to the West Coast, and the philandering hubby of Noras cousin has gone missing. Round up the unusual suspects. The stars (including the four-footed one!), writers and director of The Thin Man reunite for a giddy second comedy whodunit. Myrna Loy is Nora, who by all accounts does not scold, does not nag and looks far too pretty in the morning. William Powell is Nick, retired from sleuthing but hardly retiring when it comes to a case more scrambled than the 3 A.M. eggs he whips up. And rising star James Stewart leads a tip-top supporting cast. This is a fine way to start the New Year, Nick says, as he springs Nora from lockup. Indeed, it is.
