Society sleuths Nick and Nora Charles investigate a murder aboard a floating casino.
Nick and Nora Charles are attending a charity benefit aboard a gambling ship.
After a murder occurs, suspicion falls on Phil Brant, who had argued with the victim earlier in the evening.
When Phil and his wife seek help from Nick and Nora, Nick refuses to get involved.
But when shots are fired outside his own apartment, Nick begins to investigate, and he soon finds himself in a confusing case with numerous suspects.
Nick and Nora Charles were the ultimate screen couple, husband and wife detectives, always in step and never missing an opportunity to outwit one another as they solved each crime, which they did just in time for the movie's ending.
Myrna Loy was a fantastic Nora, the ideal wife and considering she made 14 movies with William Powell, she made it look like they were really married.
The Thin Man movies, all six of them, played more like sophisticated screwball comedies than murder mysteries, and their comic banter enhanced the proceedings.
Their little wire-haired terrier, Asta, quite often stole the scene as he helped sleuth out the guilty party.
He was a great little actor and rumor had it that away from the Thin Man movies, Asta was really Skippy.
However, the six Thin Man movies credit this cute pooch as "Asta."
作为收官之作这部挺一般的，段子少了，最后的推理也是有随便拉个人来凑数的嫌疑，连Asta的存在感都仅限于在床上钻来钻去了
收尾之作的平平倒跟第一部有所呼应。儿子再次出场，宠物狗依然是亮点，几处平行蒙太奇剪辑令人挑眉。可惜故事本质落脚于一对宁愿把出轨升级成情杀也不愿离婚的法盲夫妇同归于尽，倒是心理暗示和精神疾病的设想别出心裁，颇有《爱德华医生》气质。

系列最终作，上门求助、寻人、尼克和诺拉睡不够的桥段回归原点，就像片名所预告的那样，音乐成为影片的重要部分。只是这次时长大幅缩短，主线力不从心，收尾仓促且推理性差，不过是借助聚会引人自曝一蹴而就，精神崩溃的说法也站不住脚，不算一个体面且优雅的落幕。但在黑色电影的全盛时期，本片也成为系列中黑色电影气质最强的一部：开场即刻展示角色的不和与困境，调查过程中夫妇俩打情骂俏少了，与他人的激烈交锋多了，俱乐部表...
瘦子系列最后一部，这一对儿越来越居家，狂热的爵士，黑色渐浓
