    Fourth in the series, Shadow of the Thin Man is for me the most delightful since the original. By this point, it's clear that Nick and Nora Charles (and Asta the Dog, who finds a LOT of clues in this one) are going to be roped into okay, but forgettable mysteries. So what they need to do is keep the banter up and be given fun gags that involve their romance, their family, and Nick's drinking. Now Junior is a young boy and he's an amusing addition to the cast (in just the right dose), often left at home with the maid so the Charles can do what they're good at - making/drinking cocktails, rough-housing, and solving murders. The case du jour has people dying around sporting events where gambling is involved, and some nice bits at a wrestling match. There's a frame-up and dumb cops and a "dame" and Nick doing physical bits of business to figure out how the crimes were done. Good one-liners throughout keep it from fizzling out. 1 month 2 weeks ago
