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.

The great chemistry between Powell and Loy is still there and their charm carries things a long way.

The last of a six-film series was running out of gas, but it's still good, clean fun.
