This is a very pleasant entry into "The Thin Man" series. I found it much less aggravating than the other stories simply because of the drinking and smoking factor.
Unbelievably, William Powell and Myrna Loy don't have a drop of alcohol to drink in the entire film, which is a refreshing change of pace. Hey, don't get me wrong - I love my beer, but I get tired of seeing these two think that alcohol is the answer to every situation. That gets old and stupid.
In this film it's just "Nick" and "Nora" solving a crime on their own and then - in Charlie Chan-type style - rounding up all the suspects in one room and exposing the criminal while explaining the case.
Generally, it's a fun movie with interesting characters. Don't look for a lot of action but you'll get a lot of laughs.
