Production
This Thin Man movie differs in several respects from the others in the series. It was one of two films in the series not directed by W.S. Van Dyke, who died in 1943, and the script was one of two not written by the husband and wife team of Albert Hackett and Frances Goodrich who had worked with Dashiell Hammett to develop the Nick and Nora characters earlier in the series.

Famous quotes containing the word production:
“In the production of the necessaries of life Nature is ready enough to assist man.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“Every production of an artist should be the expression of an adventure of his soul.”
—W. Somerset Maugham (1874–1965)
“An art whose limits depend on a moving image, mass audience, and industrial production is bound to differ from an art whose limits depend on language, a limited audience, and individual creation. In short, the filmed novel, in spite of certain resemblances, will inevitably become a different artistic entity from the novel on which it is based.”
—George Bluestone, U.S. educator, critic. “The Limits of the Novel and the Limits of the Film,” Novels Into Film, Johns Hopkins Press (1957)
