“Nicky, I think you’re slipping.”
The line is a passing remark from Nora as to her husband’s gambling skills during the opening scene of “Song of the Thin Man.” But, it could also apply to the graceful slide downward of the “Thin Man” into cultural irrelevance.
The series that has once used the brazen yet debonair alcoholism of its two protagonists to making social drinking fashionable post-prohibition by 1947, had the fizzle of flat champagne.
If you know Nick and Nora though, you know that they are ingenious enough to find a use for even the most bubble-lacking of beverage in a cocktail. “Song” is that aperitif; made out of questionably aged ingredients, but ones that will get you buzzed…

nick and his endless supply of wacky ties...nora taking her heels off and falling asleep on the case...i don’t want to say goodbye.

I think all movies should contain a scene where a father stares at his son’s ass and vividly hallucinates flashbacks of their life together just before he spanks his son with a newspaper as punishment for neglecting his piano lessons.

Song of the Thin man sees Nick and Nora going out not with a bang, but with a whimper. There's a weariness to the formula and the characters, and with new writers and a new director, none of whom had the feel of the series, the whole affair is a half-hearted attempt to ape something everyone knew was out of reach. As Myrna Loy wrote of the film in her autobiography (quoted on the movie's TCM page),
I hated it. The Characters had lost their sparkle for Bill and me, and the people who knew what it was all about were no longer involved. [Original director] Woody Van Dyke was dead. [Creator] Dashiell Hammett and [producer] Hunt Stromberg had gone…

This is my favorite series from Old Hollywood and even after 6 films, the movie magic is still there!

**May contain spoilers.**
Dig this crazy hot potato, daddio. This Melvin comes on like a real do-si-do, a real pickler, that is, and all these ship captains go for the belt. It's a real canary. And then this one dish gets lumped up the kisser, and now they're all a bunch of flyin' dutchman. Swing it to me, Mary. I got the hand springs to prove it. Then these geezers go all ape job on the boss, and this other cat's in a real live clambake. And I mean BAKED. Then the stone rope gets a little sleazy action, and wouldn't you know it, the wax peddler did the pump man a favor. A real PERMANENT favor, if you catch…

The last of the six Thin Man movies, not the best but always fun.
It is all the little things such as a young Dean Stockwell, a speaking part for Bess Flowers, Gloria Grahame singing, and I suddenly realized that this Jayne Meadows is the same Jayne Meadows from TV “What’s My Line” !
Enjoyable even if this looked and felt like a feature length TV-Pilot episode.
This is my one year anniversary on using Letterboxd, I just wanted to say thank you.
Congratulations to the Letterboxd staff; you guys are brilliant and have possibly come up with one of the best website ideas ever.
Thank you to the community on Letterboxd. Never have I… -
I’ve watched all the rest of The Thin Man films at least a couple of times before, but I never watched this one because I didn’t want the series to end! It’s definitely not their best, but I’ll love Bill & Myrna forever as Nick & Nora.

Definitely my least favorite in the series, but it was nice seeing my favorite murder mystery duo one last time

I have a cold and I'm miserable and I will never forgive MGM for only making six of these.
