Der Schatten des dünnen Mannes
Komödie - USA 1941 - 97
Erneut muß sich der Lebenskünstler Nick Charles (William Powell) detektivisch mit einem Verbrechen auseinandersetzen, wobei er diesmal mehr daran interessiert ist, Frau (Myrna Loy), Kind und Hund loszuwerden, als den Mordfall zu lösen. Vom Kriminal-Plot her ist die vierte Produktion des ,Dünner Mann-Serials nur noch ein ,Schatten der Vorgänger; das komödiantische Spiel von William Powell und Myrna Loy macht sie dennoch zu einem Vergnügen, vermerkt das Lexikon des internationalen Films.
