Nora and Nick Charles—with Asta—are back, this time with baby and a new, extremely complicated murder mystery. Wisecracks flow as freely as the Scotch amidst the Charleses, and “Another Thin Man” is good fun. The mystery, equipped with a “unethical” solution, doesn't really matter, but it's & baffler and keeps the action fast as well as funny.

Wife vs. secretar yagain in a light, fairly amusing trifle based on the obvious fallacy that luscious Linda would have to worry about any straying husband. The story, amazingly, includes that old chestnut about the fur coat and the pawn-ticket—a sequence in which the audience is ten jumps ahead of the plot instead of only twe or three.
