After the Thin Man | Full Movie | Movies Anywhere

[UPDATED 2024 BLU-RAY REVIEW] The movie gets a lot of mileage out of comic bits that would prove to be recurring gags throughout the series.

Worthy successor to The Thin Man.

After the Thin Man hasn't quite the spontaneity and charm of the original, but it's good mystery-comedy, the dialogue bright, the handling expert, and the principals as ingratiating as ever.

The script is tight, the direction is swift and arresting, and the cast is tops -- MGM surrounded its two quipping stars with the best character actors on the lot.

After the Thin Man boasts two things that the original lacks; a much more engaging caper, and a first-rate performance by a shockingly young Jimmy Stewart.
