Return of the Thin Man: After the Thin Man / Another Thin Man / Sequel to the Thin Man by Julie M. Rivett, Richard Layman, Dashiell Hammett

3.0

An exercise in archeology gathering Hammett's screenplays for the After the Thin Man and Return of the Thin Man movies, plus a very short treatment, which is a bit tongue in cheek, for the unmade Sequel to the Thin Man movie. The first of the bunch is most complete, and includes chunks of the actual screenplay, plus Hammett interpolations. Though the dialog is good in these movies, it works better on screen (mostly, at least in the first sequel) than it does on the printed page. My recommendation is that you (and I) should visit or revisit some of Hammett's other stuff, such as the Continental Op stories, before spending time on this one.
