Suspensful entry in this great series., 5 May 2001
10/10
Author: NativeTexan from Georgia

The third entry in the Thin Man series is suspenseful, and scarier than its siblings. Hilarity, gloomy atmosphere, and comedic badinage are superb in this A++ film. The screenplay, full of literary allusions, double entendre, and out-and-out slapstick is great fun.
