Production Notes
Shadow of the Thin Man was eagerly welcomed, coming two years after the previous outing and hitting theaters just two weeks before the attack on Pearl Harbor. It would be three years before Loy would make another film (The Thin Man Goes Home in 1945) as she left Hollywood for New York, where she volunteered with the Red Cross.
The film includes a rather novel scene filmed 'on' the recently completed San Francisco – Oakland Bay Bridge, wherein Nick & Nora Charles', while driving east-bound on the upper deck ( disallowed when the bridge was 'reconfigured' in 1962 ) are stopped on the bridge ( for speeding, by a highway patrolman ) while traffic whizzes by, which would be unheard of in recent history. Just after this scene there's a short sequence of them driving through the MacArthur Maze, an interchange on the east end of the bridge, and then north on a 'barren' stretch of highway which today is Interstate 80 passing through crowded Emeryville and Berkeley . The local racetrack central to the plot is Golden Gate Fields.

Famous quotes containing the words production and/or notes:
“The development of civilization and industry in general has always shown itself so active in the destruction of forests that everything that has been done for their conservation and production is completely insignificant in comparison.”
—Karl Marx (1818–1883)
“My weary limbs are scarcely stretched for repose, before red dawn peeps into my chamber window, and the birds in the whispering leaves over the roof, apprise me by their sweetest notes that another day of toil awaits me. I arise, the harness is hastily adjusted and once more I step upon the tread-mill.”
—“E. B.,” U.S. farmer. As quoted in Feminine Ingenuity, by Anne L. MacDonald (1992)
