Glad to see Woody Van Dyke getting some love from Alicia.

I’ve always liked that he kisses her in what I think of as the Mrs. Darling spot. #ShadowOfTheThinMan #TCMparty

While not the end of the series, this film quietly pushes Nick and Nora towards stability, and away from perpetual nightlife…setting up the final two entries.

This is the last Thin Man film before a prolonged hiatus. The next film would be released four years later, making this feel like a temporary end-point for audiences.

The ADR guy should’ve requested a couple more takes of “Run, Nickie! Run!” maybe. #ShadowOfTheThinMan #TCMparty

Released months before Pearl Harbor, it captures a tense, morally gray mood without explicit wartime references.

"Nicky, I can't stand it! Was it me?"

Oliver Blake (the lawyer) and Will Wright (the cashier) -- a pair of very busy (and also distinctive) character actors

Nickie “knows such nice people” but the primary murderers thus far have all been upper class or from the world of law. #ShadowOfTheThinMan #TCMparty

This is your way of suggesting we should hydrate, isn’t it? #ShadowOfTheThinMan #TCMparty

Laughing Boy, the novel, goes into the public domain this very day! #ShadowOfTheThinMan #TCMparty

Abrams’s a-little-battered-but-professional hat makes me very happy. That brim crease is a lieutenant’s brim crease. #ShadowOfTheThinMan #TCMparty

ngl I'm buzzing rn but I think the protectionist is too? 😎🥂 #HappyNewYear #ShadowOfTheThinMan #TCMParty

The restaurant scene with Luis the insistent waiter reminds me of going to the (allegedly) oldest restaurant in San Francisco and trying to order their specialty, sand dabs... only to be told repeatedly by the waiter that "The sal-mon, she's a very good today." #ShadowOfTheThinMan #TCMParty

I wonder if they changed the brand of gin in the martinis #ShadowOfTheThinMan #TCMParty

Well, that escalated quickly

In his defense, I had terrific sea bass in Florida just last Friday. #ShadowOfTheThinMan #TCMParty

The meat is wight; the skin is crispy #ShadowOfTheThinMan #TCMParty

“Why ask if shad do it?” #ShadowOfTheThinMan #TCMParty

Monkey Boy Sid Melton! #ShadowOfTheThinMan #TCMParty

Fun to watch the evolution of the costumes over this 7-year—by the end of the series, 13-year—span. #ShadowOfTheThinMan #TCMParty

Fewer set-pieces here. Most of the comedy comes from dialog and timing rather than physical or farcical moments.

I wish I loved anything like 1940s Americans loved radio one liners about the Super Chief. #ShadowOfTheThinMan #TCMParty

I once thought I had watched all of the Great Performances/Theater in America productions but every now and then one pops up and I realize that I did not.

This entry de-emphasized high society: no elite parties or drawing rooms–this is a working class, cash-driven underworld.

This lady playing Claire Porter is pretty good. She should start an acting school. #ShadowOfTheThinMan #TCMParty

Pondering whether the glasses are Dr. Kammer’s or Diamondback Vogel’s… #ShadowOfTheThinMan #TCMParty

How had I never noticed before that Claire Porter was played by Stella Adler?
