The Thin Man (1934)
5/10
Not as good as it's made out to be
19 February 2016
I wonder if some of the glowing reviews on here of this movie weren't written through a familiarity with the movies that followed this one in the Thin Man series. Too often the actors seem to stumble over their lines, which leads me to suspect that the movie was made hurriedly without much time for remakes.

And it just isn't that clever or funny, nothing like some of the Thin Man movies that follow. Though the cast is first-rate, it seems like an MGM B movie.

Don't expect a 10 here. It just isn't that funny.

*Imagine two lines of filler here to bring this to ten lines. I have nothing more to say about this movie but I have to provide at least 10 lines.*
