The Thin Man was an entertaining novel, and now it's an entertaining picture.

What enchants, really, is the relationship between Nick and Nora as they live an eternal cocktail hour, bewailing hangovers that only another little drink will cure, in a marvellous blend of marital familiarity and constant courtship.
Tom Milne, Time Out

An excellent combination of comedy and excitement.
Mordaunt Hall, New York Times

The Thin Man was one of the most popular films of 1934, inspired five sequels, and was nominated for four Oscars (best picture, actor, direction and screenplay). Yet it was made as an inexpensive B-picture.
