Yeah, and didn't you love it when Nick actually pops his buttons at the end of "The Thin Man Goes Home"?
Also, isn't it strange that, in the first movie, Nick is not the thin man? The thin man is the first murder victim. I guess it is like calling all those Peter Sellers movies The Pink Panther when, in the original Pink Panther, not only is Sellers not the Pink Panther, the Pink Panther is the stolen diamond.
A ruse, by any other name, ......
