While not quite as good as the first few movies in the series, it's still a cut above most of what is out there, owing mainly to Powell and Loy. There's also an appearance by acting teacher Stella Adler as a gambler's moll. This film finds Nick and Nora, along with Asta and Nicky, Jr., in Sycamore Springs to visit Nick's parents. A stranger dies on the Charles family property, so Nick must solve the murder. An added element of this film is Nick's desire to validate himself to his father.
Home is probably the most comedic and casual entry in the series.
It's good fun. The Thin Man Goes Home features a variety of old MGM character actors, including Lucile Watson, Mike Mazurki, and Donald Meek. Another murder, this time against the backdrop of New York jazz clubs. The bandleader on a gambling ship is murdered and the police have arrested the wrong man. Nick and Nora must undercover the real killer among the inhabitants of the jazz subculture.
