Richard Thorpe’s THE THIN MAN GOES HOME: 80th Anniversary!
(1945, 100 min)
In this final of the “Thin Man” series, Nick and Nora head to Nick's hometown of Sycamore Springs to spend some time with his parents. His father, a prominent local physician, was always a bit disappointed with Nick's choice of profession in particular and his lifestyle in general. With Nick's arrival, however, the towns folk, including several of the local criminal element, are convinced that he must be there on a case despite his protestations that he's just there for rest and relaxation. When someone is shot dead on his doorstep, however, Nick finds himself working on a case whether he wants to or not.
