Young Dorothy Wynant approaches amateur sleuth Nick Charles when her inventor father appears to be a major suspect in a murder case. In fact, Dorothy is so worried about her father's guilt that she tries to convince Nick that she did it. Nick's wife Nora wants him on the case so that she can experience some of the excitement herself. However, Nick is reluctant to get involved until he sees that police Lt. Guild is coming to the wrong conclusions. Nick decides that the best way to clear up the case is to invite all the suspects to dinner with Lt. Guild and see what happens...

BradWesley123's Movie Journal- January 2016 (33 movies items)

" VHS- 1hr. 29min. First Viewing The Thin Man is a joyous experience from beginning to end. It's top-notch in every department, especially the witty script and Powell's performance. The kind of movie you watch to cheer you up after a bad day; spoiler, it likely will. Monthly Wesley AwardsBest Picture Best Adapted Screenplay- Frances Goodrich and Albert Hackett "
