With his friend Lieutenant Abrams (Sam Levene) in charge of the case, Nick has difficulty keeping from getting involved.The festive atmosphere conceals many tensions among those connected with the ship, with most of the friction centering around Tommy Drake (Philip Reed), its unpopular, spiteful band-leader. Nora, in the lower bunk, wants to sleep with Asta, but Nick tosses Asta to the upper bunk and joins Nora himself. She convinces Nick to take the case, with the assistance of his socialite wife, who is eager to see him in action. I am a devotee of the William Powell, Myrna Loy classics; this is to underscore that for me, the Peter Lawford, Phyllis Kirk re-working of "The Thin Man" requires no apologies for its contemporaneity. Powell loved working so much with Loy because of her naturalness, her professionalism, and her lack of any kind of "diva" temperament.

Nick Charles then steps out of the cover to talk to fellow detective Philo Vance (also played by Powell) about his latest case. Nick's wife Nora (Myrna Loy) wants him on the case so that she can experience some of the excitement herself. According to Loy, the actors were not allowed to interact between takes with the dog Skippy; trainers felt it would break his concentration. When he is murdered later that night, suspicion falls on Phil Brant (Bruce Cowling), who had argued with Drake earlier in the evening. Nick and Nora were the] first on-screen Hollywood couple for whom matrimony did not signal the end of sex, romance and adventure.From Stanley Kubrick to Martin Scorsese: Akira Kurosawa once named his top 100 favourite films of all time". Nick is a retired private detective who left his very successful career when he married Nora, a wealthy heiress accustomed to high society.
