Thin Movie about a Thin Man
If you're a Dashiell Hammett fan, you may or may not like this movie. In contrast to the 1941 version of The Maltese Falcon, for instance, this version of The Thin Man was adapted to be more 'light-hearted' and whimsical. Notably, the dog Asta becomes one of the main 'characters', mugging in typical cutesy ersatz 'doggie reactions' to various events in the movie. Also, the actor who plays Nick Charles makes broad, exaggerated jaw-drop reactions to witty remarks by his wife... kind of a poor-man's laugh track, or a cue to slower members of the audience that something outrageous was said.
Bonus snark: This is not film noir, it's more 'film skinny latte'.
(Apparently, this kind of thing got worse, and the plots much thinner, in the Thin Man sequels, which I have not seen (and will not see). Caveat film snob.)
On the plus side: Great photography by James Wong Howe, the beautiful black-and-white tonal range of one of the golden ages of film. Several of the lesser characters are well-cast and entertaining, and the basic story line is pretty faithful to the book.

So much value right now
Some learning curve, much less so if you've had a Nikon DSLR. Full frame is so worth it if you're an old 35mm guy like me. Does lots, results are amazing, worth the effort and quite a good deal for the patient shopper!
