Yes. Two of the major characters are clarinetists. It's obvious that Keenan Wynn, the actor in the role of Clarence "Clinker" Krause, and Don Taylor, in the role of Buddy Hollis, don't play clarinet on the soundtrack. They're good actors in the roles, but for me the music sounds better if I look away instead of getting distracted by watching them fake it!
SONG OF THE THIN MAN is an MGM movie. MGM used a huge stable of musicians in the 1940s. Because they usually didn't need to be credited onscreen under union contracts at the time, it's often very hard to come up with a list now. I wrote that article back in 2000 (above, I mistakenly wrote that it was for "Scarlet," but it was for that magazine's ancestor, "Scarlet Street") and I never have found soundtrack information for SONG OF THE THIN MAN.
