Movie Info

This barely-disguised but effective riff on The Thin Man (1934) stars that film's lead, William Powell, opposite Ginger Rogers instead of Myrna Loy. Clay Dalzell (Powell) is a suave attorney fonder of solving crimes than trying cases. His elegant girlfriend, Donna (Rogers) hopes that Clay will settle down and marry her. A friend, Tim Winthrop (Leslie Fenton), approaches Clay with a mystery that the amateur sleuth can't resist. Tim's girlfriend Alice disappeared a year ago. During the performance

Good escapist entertainment mixing snappy dialogue with pistol shots and cocktails.

Audience Reviews for Star of Midnight

Essentially The Thin Man lite, this is a watchable outing for William Powell not quite playing Nick Charles. Ginger Rogers (who I don't know that I've seen in a film before this one) is great as his love interest, but considering the material I found myself looking around for Myrna Loy from time to time out of habit.

Worth a look.

A Thin Man knock-off with William Powell's Clay Dalzell expertly aping his very own Nick Charles (well, he ought to be able to rip off his own character, right?). Ginger Rogers stands in for Myrna Loy, playing a spunkier, less refined Nora. The central mystery ends up being nothing special, but these films were always more about the interplay between Powell and his lady, and with that in mind it's a perfectly amusing diversion sure to be of interest to the Thin Man fan.
