Another Thin Man (1939)

(Manhattan and Long Island; roughly contemporary)

The third Thin Man movie adds a child to the brewed and concerns the murder of Nora’s late fathers business partner. Of course by this time the series was already par for the course, but the protagonists so likeable that it didn’t really matter that the overly complicated plots had started to seem old hat. The ‘baby party’ thrown by hoods was a memorable image.
