  • After the Thin Man -- The first of five sequels to 1934's "The Thin Man" brings private eye Nick Charles (William Powell) and wife Nora (Myrna Loy) on a visit to her rich family in San Francisco where Nick helps a local flatfoot (Sam Levene) solve a murder case. Though the mystery is not as perplexing as the original, director W.S. Van Dyke II makes it seem almost as much fun, thanks to the breezy byplay between the sleuthing couple and an odd gallery of suspects (notably James Stewart, Joseph Calleia and George Zucco). Murder mystery menace. (A-II) (br) (1936)




    These movies have been evaluated for artistic merit and moral suitability by the media reviewing division of Catholic News Service. The reviews include the CNS rating, the Motion Picture Association of America rating, and a brief synopsis of the movie.

    The classifications are as follows:

    A-I -- general patronage;
    A-II -- adults and adolescents;
    A-III -- adults;
    L -- limited adult audience, films whose problematic content many adults would find troubling. L replaces the previous classification, A-IV.
    O -- morally offensive.

    Note: Some movies previously were designated A-IV. Older films with this classification should be regarded as classified L.
