Thank you Joel so much for ALL your wonderful Thin Man info on every film and helping us all celebrate New Year's day with Nick and Nora! I was late grabbing your fab bingo card, but loved seeing others fill theirs up! 😁 Happy New Year #TCMParty!

And the very last we see of the Charles' is them checking on a sleeping Nicky with Asta having snuck into his bed to sleep under the blankets with his little head on the pillow beside. Everyone together again. Cute. #SongOfTheThinMan #TCMParty

I found a picture of this lobby card. Blue.

"And now, Nick Charles is going to retire."
"You're through with crime?"
"No, I'm going to bed!"

That might be some of the worst fake musical instrument playing I’ve ever seen. #TCMParty #SongOfTheThinMan

Leon Ames can definitely get it. #TCMParty #SongOfTheThinMan

turntable stage...drink!

Nora just noticed the necklace, which is a classic woman detective move. #SongoftheThinMan #TCMParty @msemilyedwards.bsky.social

Wait, was that Bess Flowers with actual lines? #TCMParty #SongOfTheThinMan

Oh hello Marie Windsor. #TCMParty #SongOfTheThinMan

Nick and Nora sitting at a nightclub table. Nick wears a tux. Nora is wearing a pale, if not white, cap-sleeved dress with a high v-neck and silvery looking beading on it in a large botanical pattern.

I think I like Nora's dress here...
#SongOfTheThinMan #TCMParty

I love this dress. I wonder what color it was.

"The earrings are higher up." Nora Charles, #SongOfTheThinMan #TCMParty

Marie Windsor, finally!

No character arcs conclude at the end of the film. Nick and Nora simply continue on as Nick and Nora, forever frozen in time.

There are more suspects and motives than in previous Thin Man films. (Don't ask me to enumerate them...I'm confused rn.) Some critics thought it was bloated.

It's the name of the clarinet that Buddy's mom gave him before sending him to be a ward of a banking magnate.

I forget who or what Rosebud is in this movie. #TCMParty #SongOfTheThinMan

“…and YOU, Mr. Wynn, are no Sam Levene.” #SongOfTheThinMan #TCMParty

Buckley! (I mean Don Taylor) as Buddy.
#TCMParty #SongOfTheThinMan ^JW

Don't let him bother you. The rest of your face looks just fine. #SongOfTheThinMan #TCMParty

Finally having some Martinis. And the rumaki I was too tired to make last night. I like this movie just fine. I really love when Nora picks up the jazz slang and calls somebody a rinky-tinky square! #SongOfTheThinMan #TCMParty

The comedy remains, but the lighting and cynicism lean darker than the earlier films. Call this noir-lite maybe?

Harry's brother, Ralph Morgan.

GOOD!

Asta appears less than usual here. By this point, animal-centered gags were seen as old-fashioned.
#TCMParty #SongOfTheThinMan ^JW

Asta was played by a dog name Skippy (used in the film THE AWFUL TRUTH) and appears in the early films of the Thin Man series. Later films used a different dog as Skippy aged. (I'm not sure exactly when the switch was made.)

I can take Wynn in small doses, like DR. STRANGELOVE

I just realized this movie has both Esther Howard and Connie Gilchrist.
