Another Thin Man (1939)
Country: US
Technical: bw 102m
Director: W. S. Van Dyke II
Cast: William Powell, Myrna Loy, Otto Kruger
Synopsis:
Nick and Nora Charles visit a munitions manufacturer who suspects a man of wanting to murder him over a past injustice.
Review:
A distinct improvement on the first sequel, this is humorously written by Dashiell Hammett, with agreeably gruesome detail and a murderous damsel, though perhaps too many monkeys surrounding Nick's competence. Star chemistry as satisfying as ever, plus appearances by Marjorie Main and Ruth Hussey, regrettably wasted.
