The last entries of series are, as a rule, bad. This one breaks the mold and, while hardly in a league with the earlier films, can hold its own against any B movie mystery of the period.

While Song of the Thin Man is no world beater, it still is a mighty pleasant picture to have around.

It just doesn't swing (or bop), but the stars always click. [15 Jul 2005, p.C8]

Song of the Thin Man is a slight improvement. It's got more laughs. And it's got an 11-year-old Dean Stockwell as an amusingly precocious Nick Jr.

Nick and Nora investigate a jazz-club killing in this final entry (1947) in the series, which gets by—just barely—on the charm of stars William Powell and Myrna Loy.

Powell and Loy try gamely to work their magic and wit, but it’s no use anymore.
