Though it was only their second Nick and Nora Charles picture, After the Thin Man (1936) was actually the fourth pairing for Myrna Loy and William Powell, a combination that goes unrivaled in Hollywood for its great chemistry and humor.
Her Thin Man salary was reportedly half of the $3,000 a week earned by Powell and she felt that if the studio publicized the two as a team, they should pay them accordingly.
After much internal debate, it was decided to call the sequel After the Thin Man, which didn't make much sense because the "thin man" in Dashiell Hammett's original story is the murder victim.

It is common wisdom that the Thin Man sequels adhere to the law of diminishing returns, and while none of the follow-ups reach the diamond level of the first film, all afford pleasures.
First sequel After the Thin Man (1936) is very good, with the couple in San Francisco and a supporting part for rising player James Stewart.
Shadow of the Thin Man (1941) sets the action around a racetrack, and is the last of the series to be directed by the fast-working Van Dyke.

MGM was not entirely enthusiastic about 1934's THE THIN MAN and even less so about the casting of Myrna Loy as Nora Charles--and director W.S. 'Woody' Van Dyke was determined to have her the studio gave in with poor grace.
Directed by Richard Thorpe, the 1945 THE THIN MAN GOES HOME suffered from an incredibly weak script; although the film is amusing in its way it is a clinker in comparison with the other films in the series.
A Lux Radio version of THE THIN MAN is entertaining, but it needs a significant remaster, and an episode from the later television series based on the films can only be described as fairly dire.

 The Thin Man Movie Review at Hollywood Video
And The Thin Man was one of the jewels in MGM's starry constellation.
But 68 years after its initial release, this Thin Man is an old man — worn and scratched in picture with the tinny, thin, monaural sound of the early talkie era.
The Thin Man may not look its best, but 68 years haven't been able to diminish what made the movie so popular in the first place: the perfect chemistry between stars William Powell and Myrna Loy, and a superior screenplay by Albert Hackett and Frances Goodrich, who adapted Dashiell Hammett's novel.

He was planning to leave Selma for a nightclub singer, Polly Byrnes (Penny Singleton), after shaking down David Graham (James Stewart), who had loved Selma before she married the cad.
The movie works so well, just as The Thin Man did, because the mystery is complicated, because William Powell and Myrna Loy were probably the classiest and funniest pairing Hollywood has ever come up with, and because the dialogue crackles with wry humor that is just as funny now as it was 70 years ago.
"After the Thin Man" is a suitable sequel to the first "Thin Man" movie, and a classy, witty whodunnit that will leave viewers twitching until the finale.
