Nick and Nora Charles (William Powell and Myrna Loy) return after three years in "Another Thin Man," a 1939 film directed by W.S. Van Dyke. Besides Asta, they now have another addition, a baby, Nicky. Other than that, things are still the same - Nick's drinking, Nora is putting up with him, and they're off solving a mystery.
The couple is invited by Coloney McFey (C. Aubrey Smith), Nora's father's old partner, to his house on Long Island. He has been getting death threats from Phil Church (Sheldon Leonard) and he wants Nick to do something about it. When a murder occurs, did Church do it? Is the Charles' new nanny (Ruth Hussey) mixed up in this? Or his adopted daughter Lois (Virgina Grey)? Or someone else.
From a story by Dashiell Hammett, the script is good and performed in great style by William Powell and Myrna Loy. Powell is hilarious, aided and abetted by Loy. Nora steals the key to the liquor cabinet at McFey's so Nick can imbibe. They're one of the great couples, and they set the stage for dozens of copycats to come. Otto Kruger is on hand as the A.D.A., and Patric Knowles plays Grey's fiancé.
Lively acting by all, including, of course, Asta.
