Thank you for this timely information. It's possible that some of our members might be, um, distracted that evening.  ;D

Thanks for the heads-up.  Awhile ago I bought a DVD set of Thin Man movies, but the "Shadow of the Thin Man" is full of skips and freezes, and is unwatchable.  Now I can finally see this movie without cursing at the TV.

Happy New Year to All !!!

Probably like many of you, after a decorous New Year celebration I settled down to watch some of the Thin Man movies on TCM. All was well until "The Thin Man Goes Home" came on. For some reason, for me it just doesn't have the same feel as the other TM movies. Twenty minutes into it, I gave up and went to sleep. It just seems cliched and silly, and not a worthy entry in the series of six movies. Does anyone else feel this way about this one?
Between Christmas and New Years, I managed to cram in a birthday celebration. Won't mention any numbers, but it seems that I am now on the ragged edge of codgerdom; a grim prospect indeed.
I do hope all of us have a healthy, productive year in 2016. And stay vertical; after all, we're going to be horizontal for a long time.
