the film flows less smoothly than its predecessors
It wouldn't be Hollywood if they didn't wring too much out of a good idea
Although the ending of Song of the Thin Man leaves a lot to be desired, including the compulsory confession, everything leading up to it works pretty well.
...a pleasing step above the previous film, taking us into the world of smoky jazz clubs, dark shadows, and dirty deals. (The Complete Thin Man Collection)
The great chemistry between Powell and Loy is still there and their charm carries things a long way.
One of series' best.
The last of a six-film series was running out of gas, but it's still good, clean fun.
I like the Thin Man series, but this one is more average than usual, and by now you know how Powell will solve the mystery anyway.

A little bit better than the previous "The Thin Man Goes Home", "The Song of the Thin Man" centers around a group of jive-talking, hepcat jazz musicians (and thankfully, this time there's less of the dog). The focus is more on the storyline than the last movie, and with less of a focus on comedy, but it's still awfully
