Fourth in the fabulous Thin Man series has Nick & Nora investigating a murder at a race track. Also in this one is the ever-adorable dog Asta and the Charles' young son Nicky. The Thin Man series was a cut above the other detective films from the '30s and '40s. Even though this fourth film isn't the series' best, it's still a great watch. William Powell and Myrna Loy are both flawless as usual. They still have that undeniable chemistry we all love. The supporting cast includes Donna Reed, Barry Nelson, Sam Levene, Louise Beavers, and famed acting teacher Stella Adler in a rare film appearance. Highlights include Nora at the wrestling match, Nick being forced to drink milk, the old lady with the radio, and colorful characters like Meatballs Murphy, Spider Webb, and Rainbow Benny. A fun movie that fans of the series will love.
