The Thin Man Reviews
Chicago Sun-Times
Roger Ebert
The Thin Man was one of the most popular films of 1934, inspired five sequels, and was nominated for four Oscars (best picture, actor, direction and screenplay). Yet it was made as an inexpensive B-picture.
New York Times
Mordaunt Hall
An excellent combination of comedy and excitement.
Film Frenzy
Matt Brunson
[UPDATED 2024 BLU-RAY REVIEW] This classic clicks on all cylinders.
EmanuelLevy.Com
Emanuel Levy
There's wonderful chemistry between William Powell and Myrna Loy, who make sleuthing, marriage and drinking cool and sexy
Gone With The Twins
Mike Massie
Powell and Loy were one of the greatest screen couples, their cinematic compatibility epitomized here with this second collaboration.
Bitch Media
Jess Mccabe
It's hard not to love the whip-smart, hilarious Nora.
The Hollywood Reporter
THR Staff
Don't spare the enthusiasm on this one because if the book had thousands of readers, this picture will have millions of customers - well satisfied and with that well-fed look.
Chicago Reader
Don Druker
One of the most popular comedies ever made.
Variety
Variety Staff
The Thin Man was an entertaining novel, and now it's an entertaining picture.
Austin Chronicle
Marjorie Baumgarten
Nick and Nora Charles are one of the screen's great couples.
Vanity Fair
Helen Brown Norden
[Hammett's] book has been adapted to the screen with an intelligent respect for the original spirit and tempo. The dialogue is bright and sophisticated; and Miss Loy and William Powell carry the thing off with a light touch and a great deal of gaiety.
CinePassion
Fernando F. Croce
A style of pure ebullience
Film and Felt
Gabe Leibowitz
As charming as its headliners are, The Thin Man is brought down to the merely solid level by its flimsy narrative.
Dennis Schwartz Movie Reviews
Dennis Schwartz
One can't say enough good things about the playful interplay between Powell and Loy.
The New Republic
Otis Ferguson
Because it has a book with good dialogue and sprightly movement to lean on, The Thin Man leans frankly on Hammett's novel for its effects. But The Thin Man also makes a very neat movie of itself.
Film Threat
Brian Shaer
The Thin Man zips along, barely taking a minute to breathe.
InSession Film
Brian Susbielles
The first of six Thin Man films, is a whodunit where the couple is effective in untying the web of backstabbing and also remain loving to each other, not faulting their chemistry which carries on throughout the whole series.

Sean Axmaker
It's cocktail hour on the mystery beat: William Powell and Myrna Loy are Nick and Nora Charles, the world's most debonair detective team...
Deep Focus Review
Brian Eggert
The Thin Man remains an unparalleled mixture of laughs and suspense that many have imitated but none have equaled.
