Otis Ferguson

[The original] was a miracle but also a dead end: it can hardly be bettered and there is no constructive use in imitating it.

I am happy to report that, while it will not be as fresh to you as the original Dashiell Hammett production, After The Thin Man is a very successful sequel.

... it’s the cocktail chemistry between the blasé Powell and the elegantly sexy Loy that makes this snappy sequel crackle.

While sequels generally disappoint, After the Thin Man demonstrates its predecessor's nimble juggling act between comedy and murder mystery, once again finding that rare balance between suspense and laughs.

[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.
