As Seen On Screen

As Seen on Screen offers readers a chance to see film reviews for the everyman, without all of the clutter and nonsense fed to the average filmgoer. Plain, straitforward, to the point. That's our goal. We offer a diverse catalogue of which to choose from, from silent comedies to modern superhero films. Final note: this is a family friendly blog. We only review films rated G through PG-13, plus the unrated films of yesteryear. So if this sounds like your cup of tea, pull up a crumpet and enjoy. Thanks for your support!

     Shadow of the Thin Man
1941  NR  COMEDY  1h 37min
CAST— William Powell, Myrna Loy, Barry Nelson, Donna Reed, Sam Levene, Alan Baxter
MUSIC— Edward Ward  DIRECTOR— W. S. Van Dyke II

     A day at the races! As Nick and Nora Charles share in this guilty pleasure there’s trouble brewing behind the scenes. Gamblers and racketeers roam the grounds of multiple sporting events while bodies accumulate. It’s up to Nick (terrier Asta in tow) to get the dirt on the murderous scum once again. Plenty of comedy but too few scenes featuring both William Powell and Myrna Loy. Still, an entertaining ride into the convoluted world of murder and cover-ups.
OUR RATING— ** ½
PRECEDED BY— The Thin Man (1934), After the Thin Man (1936), Another Thin Man (1939)
FOLLOWED BY— The Thin Man Goes Home (1944), Song of the Thin Man (1947)
