The Thin Man Goes Home

The Thin Man Goes Home (1944) is a classic detective comedy you can watch online on iFILM — the fifth outing for sleuth Nick Charles and his wife Nora, played by William Powell and Myrna Loy.

This time Nick brings Nora to his hometown of Sycamore Springs to meet the parents. His father, the local doctor, never forgave him for choosing detective work over medicine. The quiet visit falls apart when a man is shot dead right on the Charles family's porch. The whole town is sure Nick came to crack a case, though all he wanted was a rest. Asta the terrier tags along, of course.

The Thin Man pictures run on the easy banter between Powell and Loy, one of the most charming screen couples of Hollywood's golden age, rather than the mystery itself. Shot during the war in 1944, it swaps Nick's trademark cocktails for family squabbles. Stream The Thin Man Goes Home online on iFILM.
