## Description

It's New Year's Eve, Nick and Nora Charles have returned to the West Coast, and the philandering hubby of Nora's cousin has gone missing. Round up the unusual suspects. The stars (plus 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 doesn't scold, doesn't 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.

    Funny follow-up to THE THIN MAN

William Powell and Myrna Loy were such a hit in 1934's The Thin Man that it was inevitable that M-G-M would bring them back for a sequel. There were eventually six "Thin Man" movies and they were co-starred in 14 films overall. This film boasts a bigger budget and a longer running-time. This sequel was also directed by W. S. "Woody" van Dyke and also written by Francis Goodrich, Albert Hackett from a story by Daschell Hammett himself.This film is all comedy for the first half-hour, as the story picks us when Nick and Nora are returning by train from New York after the conclusion of the first film. They are exhausted from the three-day trip and want to settle down for a quiet New Year's Eve at home. Unfortunately, Nick's police and criminal friends are throwing a surprise NYE party for them, but the party is so wild that nobody even notices when they arrive at their own house. We also see that there is a Mrs. Asta who has a brood of puppies in a fenced off portion of the yard, but a neighbor's dog keeps squeezing under the fence to visit her. (Both Loy and Asta have a lot more screen time in this film.) Loy gets a call from her family and the couple must come and visit due to a crisis. We are introduced to a dizzying array of more minor characters. It seems that Elissa Landi's husband (Alan Marshall) has been missing for three days, but nobody wants to call the police.Nick and Nora find him pretty easily, as he is at an allegedly Chinese nightclub watching his girlfriend Dorothy McNulty sing. Soon he is murdered and there are a half-dozen suspects that have a good reason to want him dead. There is still a lot of fun (Nick has to spring Nora from jail) but the mystery deepens. Two more characters (including one we haven't met in the film) are killed before all the suspects are locked into a room again and Nick quizzes all of them. I remember being shocked when the killer was revealed when I first saw this 20 years ago.If Dorothy McNulty sounds famaliar, she later changed her name to Penny Singleton and starred in the long-running "Blondie" series. And then later she was the voice of Jane Jetson. Jimmy Stewart does well with a part that could have easily been a one-note role. Allen "Farina" Hoskins of Our Gang fame has a one-line bit part. Ward Bond has a bit part at the NYE party. George Zucco (in some really thick glasses) plays a psychiatrist.The supplements are a Robert Benchly comedy How to Be a Detective (1936), which has a few laughs. There is also a so-so Harmon-Isling color cartoon The Early Bird and the Worm (1936) where a young bird tries to catch a worm with little success and both are pursued by a rattlesnake. There is an interesting trailer for After the Thin Man. There are two radio programs. The first is a 14-minute Leo is on the Air program that presents hit songs from 1936 M-G-M films, finishing with "Smoke Dearms" from this film. The last supplement an hour-long radio adaption of the film from 1940 with Powell and Loy, presented by Cecil B. DeMille (which I didn't listen to.) All of these extras were from the DVD release from years ago.The image quality is very good and there is plenty of grain left from the film. The sound is two-channel mono. There are yellow subtitles for the movie only. The supplements are all in Standard Definition and have no subtitles.

    Delightful interplay continues
  

*by M***I on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on March 1, 2023*

Not quite as good as the first one but still very worth the watching.  Nick & Nora have a playful chemistry that holds up even when they are "insulting" one another.  It's also wonderful the way they doubt each other, even when Nora walks in on Nick being kissed by another woman or Nora takes off in the middle of the night to meet a man in his apartment. If you enjoyed the first one it's a must have.
