Deep Focus Review

Brian Eggert

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.

The movie gets a lot of mileage out of comic bits that would prove to be recurring gags throughout the series.

Esquire Magazine

Meyer Levin (Patterson Murphy)

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.

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.
