* RealitySubtext: **The Thin Man Goes Home** was the only film in the series produced while the US was involved in World War 2, explaining why Nick and Nora forgo their usual lavish lifestyle and glamorous settings in favor of taking a crowded passenger train to Nick's small hometown. TheReveal also ties in, as [[spoiler:Nick foils smugglers trying to get secret plane blueprints to hostile nations]].

* ExecutiveMeddling: Louis B. Mayer strongly opposed the casting of both Creator/WilliamPowell and Creator/MyrnaLoy, considering the former too old and the latter too typecast as "exotic" femme fatales. W.S. Van Dyke, who had already directed the duo in ''Film/ManhattanMelodrama'', insisted on casting both of them and Mayer eventually relented.
* NeverWorkWithChildrenOrAnimals: Mostly averted; Skippy, the dog playing Asta, was an exceedingly well-trained animal and the only trouble occurred when he became overexcited and bit Myrna Loy on the hand during one scene. On the other hand, his trainer prevented Skippy from interacting with Powell and Loy between takes so that their interactions would seem more spontaneous.

* ThrowItIn: During a break in filming, Creator/WilliamPowell started shooting down Christmas ornaments on the set with an air gun. Van Dyke loved it and decided to add a scene where Nick did the same thing.

* PlayingAgainstType: This was one of the films that helped Creator/MyrnaLoy finally break out of the "villainous foreign vamp" ghetto she had been toiling in. Ironically, she went on to become best known for playing nurturing wives and mothers.
