Almost as good as the first film, it has James Stewart in one of his earliest roles. [02 Aug 2005, p.E1]

The film masterfully balances comedy and crime-solving, showcasing the chemistry and wit of its lead characters.

Surprisingly successful sequel to the delightful, Dashiell Hammett-based comedy-mystery, The Thin Man, with Powell and Loy as charmingly witty as ever as the bibulous sophisticates Nick and Nora Charles, revelling in sparkling dialogue as they solve a murder.
80
The most elegant title for a sequel in film history belongs, happily, to one of the most elegant sequels.
75
With After the Thin Man, the best thing about the series remains the playful, boozy, flirtatious repartee between Powell and Loy (even if Nick seems a bit bossier this time around).
70
It has the same stars, William Powell and Myrna Loy; the same style of breezy direction by W.S. Van Dyke; almost as many sparkling lines of dialog and amusing situations; but it hasn't, and probably couldn't have, the same freshness and originality of its predecessor.
50
It isn't particularly entertaining; it's just busy.

Es complicado hacer una buena secuela, pero esta cumple muy bien con su cometido. Creo que no supera a la primera película, pero se queda bastante cerca; es decir, agrega los mismos elementos que la hicieron triunfar en un principio: ese humor bien llevado, el misterio que nunca está del todo claro, pero tal vez el final es muy similar al de la película original y, en ese sentido, me hubiera gustado un final más original, no tan predecible. Algo distinto hubiera logrado que sea una mejor secuela, pero aun así muy contento de que lograra mantener el nivel. Y dato no menor, me gusta que la historia sucede justo después de la primera, es decir, no ocurre 5 o 10 años después del suceso anterior, es casi como una serie, y me gusta que siga ese hilo conductor.

Немного затянутое, но хорошее продолжение первого тонкого человека. На Оскар уже не тянет, но всё равно смотрится интересно.
