If a Thin Man movie is on, it's always watchable. What gets me is that in movies these days if the plot runs thin, the director warms up some pixels and amps up the special effects.
Back in the day, when the plot got thin, there weren't a lot of optical effects, so the director leaned on the writer and actors and got great dialogue and snappy acting.
This Thin Man has a plot as thin as a 1940's projection screen. As long as Nick, Nora, and Asta, and the supporting cast is up for the fun and mayhem, though, plot doesn't seem to matter so much.
I thought the last reel dragged on in comparison to the rest of the film, but there are some great scenes and snappy jokes throughout the film.
And where do sailors learn to dance like that?!?
