Plot Summary

New parents Nick and Nora Charles — glamorous, witty, and perpetually holding cocktails — travel with their baby Nick Jr. and irrepressible terrier Asta to a Long Island estate. Their host, the volatile Colonel MacFay (C. Aubrey Smith), has received death threats, and sure enough, the fireworks begin immediately. When a man is found murdered in circumstances that perfectly match a paranoid prediction made just hours before, Nick (William Powell) reluctantly trades parental duties for detective work, while Nora (Myrna Loy) navigates a cast of suspects that includes shady associates, jealous rivals, and old flames. Ruth Hussey, Otto Kruger, and Patric Knowles round out a colorful ensemble in this wryly funny, ingeniously plotted mystery.

Historical Significance

Another Thin Man (1939) was the third entry in the massively successful Thin Man series, based on the characters created by Dashiell Hammett. The franchise was then at the peak of its box-office power, and this installment grossed over $4 million — an enormous sum for the era. William Powell and Myrna Loy had by this point become arguably the most beloved screen couple in Hollywood history, their banter and chemistry perfected to an art form over three consecutive films.

As a document of late-1930s American comedy-mystery filmmaking, this classic film represents the genre at its absolute zenith. The screwball dialogue, the elegant settings, and the blend of slapstick and suspense remain as entertaining today as when audiences first packed cinemas to watch the Charles family’s latest adventure. Director W.S. Van Dyke — nicknamed “One-Take Woody” for his efficient shooting style — brought the same effortless vitality that had made the first two installments so irresistibly watchable.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Movie-Specific Questions

Q: Do I need to have seen the previous Thin Man films to enjoy this one?
Not at all. While fans of the earlier films will enjoy the ongoing character development, Another Thin Man works perfectly as a standalone mystery-comedy. The essential Nick and Nora dynamic is immediately and charmingly established, and the murder mystery is entirely self-contained.

Q: How does baby Nick Jr. change the dynamic of the Thin Man series?
The addition of an infant adds delightful new comedic dimensions — particularly scenes where Nick’s sophisticated detective instincts clash hilariously with the chaos of new parenthood. Asta’s jealousy of the new baby provides some of the film’s funniest moments and keeps the series’ beloved animal comedy traditions very much alive.

Q: What is the famous death-prediction scene about?
An eccentric man named Phil Church drunkenly and publicly predicts his own murder at midnight, and when the clock strikes twelve and he is found dead, Nick must sift through a wonderfully colorful cast of suspects who all had reasons to want Church silenced. It is one of the most inventive and amusing mystery setups in the entire franchise.
