Lacking Natural Simplicity

Song of the Thin Man, 1947. Directed by Edward Buzzell, writing by Stanley Robers, Steve Fisher, Nat Perrin, James O'Hanlon, Harry Crane, using characters created by Dashiell Hammett. I haven't seen many movies from this era that I like, but the Thin Man movies are light and entertaining, if in no way the equal of Dashiell Hammett's original novel.
