Surprisingly successful sequel to the delightful, Dashiell Hammett-based comedy-mystery, The Thin Man, with Powell and Loy as charmingly witty as ever.
Tom Milne, Time Out
Fresh
If After the Thin Man is not quite the delight The Thin Man was, it is, at the very least, one of the most urbane comedies of the season.
Frank S. Nugent, New York Times

The mystery elements amount to much less than Powell and Loy's effervescent interplay as the movies' most happily married couple.
