Shadow of the Thin Man
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Shadow of the Thin Man was the fourth of the six Thin Man films. Released in 1941, it was directed by W. S. Van Dyke, and stars William Powell and Myrna Loy as Nick and Nora Charles; other cast members include Donna Reed and Barry Nelson. This one revolves around a horse-racing track, and Nick Jr. (Dickie Hall) is old enough (walking and talking) to figure in the comic subplot. Followed by The Thin Man Goes Home in 1944.
The movie includes a historic sequence on the then-new San Francisco-Oakland Bay Bridge when the Charles' car is stopped by a highway patrolman. Just after this scene, there's also a shot of the MacArthur Maze, an interchange on the east end of the bridge. The local racetrack central to the plot is Golden Gate Fields.
