Rating:  - A Day at the Races
Nick Charles is walking in a park, his son in tow. He scans the racing form. Later Nick and Nora travel across a bridge but are stopped for speeding. Police and ambulances rush to the racetrack. A jockey was shot after he was caught cheating. Not as punishment, but to shut his mouth. Lt. Abrams asks Nick Charles for advice. An investigator was looking into a gang who was fixing the races. Nick and Nora go to a wrestling match and get a hot dog. Two heavy wrestlers put on a show. Then a man wants ... Read More
Rating: - An amusing murder mystery at the racetrack, with Nick and Nora Charles...and a waiter who insists they order the sea bass
"You know that jockey, Gomez," says Lieutenant Abrams (Sam Levene) to Nick and Nora Charles (William Powell and Myrna Loy) as the two arrive at the racetrack for a little betting, "the one who was caught throwing the fourth race yesterday? He was shot." "My," says Nora, "they're strict at this track." And we're off on the fourth of the Nick and Nora Charles Thin Man series. The mystery isn't bad. The Powell-Loy chemistry is just as fine as always, and the characters...well, Nick remains the suave, ... Read More
Rating:  - "Baby, you've arrived!"
The most fun and sophisticated series in the history of film continued with Maj. W.S. Van Dyke's 1941 entry, Shadow of the Thin Man. William Powell was back, of course, as Dashiell Hammett's greatest creation, Nick Charles. Myrna Loy was back as his better half, and needless to say a shaker of martinis and a lot of witty banter was sure to follow as Nick and Nora got involved in yet another murder mystery. Nora has a new du in this one and is cuter than she's ever been. Nick is busy in the park reading ... Read More

Very cute option screen of Asta hiding and popping up.
This is the fourth "Thin Man" film in the series.
Another who-done-it mystery for Nick Castle (William Powell) and his wife Nora (Myrna Loy) to solve. A horse jockey, Goldez, was shot in the shower. They say he threw a race yesterday.
According to Major Sculley (Henry O'Neill) and reporter Paul (Barry Nelson), the deceased jockey was ... Read More
Rating: - One Glaring Flaw
Entertaining and charming as this movie is I found one very annoying and puzzling flaw. During the inevitable and formulaic "gathering of the suspects and revealing the killer" scenes, there seems to be the inclusion of what can only be called an editing mistake. I had to watch the ending several times to make sure it was not just my lack of concentration. The police inspector, in response to the killer grabbing a gun after being "outed", pulls his gun and fires off two shots. In the very next cut Nora ... Read More
