The team of David O. Selznick producer, William Wellman director, and Fredric March leading man, after having had a big hit the year before with A Star Is Born, teamed up again to create one of the great screwball comedies of... Full review

This 1937 screwball comedy is perhaps the only Technicolour film of it's genre, and what a fun, exuberant ride it is! Reliable 30's leading man Fredric March stars as Walter Cook, a reporter at the New York newspaper 'The Morning Star'... Full review

Some of the recent comments are wholly unjust to this movie. The point of the film is to make fun of phony sentimentalism, sanctimonious posturing, and the general tendency of the media to put profit ahead of grace, dignity, and the... Full review

Oh my my was this ahead of it's time or what! The funniest thing out of the 30's that you've never heard of. Super quick, non-chalant humor that's indifferent to weather or not you laugh and that makes it so funny... Full review

Absolutely hilarious screwball comedy. A hotshot newspaper reporter(Fredric March)tries to get in the good graces of his boss(Walter Connolly)by exploiting the "imminent" death of an ailing young woman(Carole Lombard). By way of newsprint the doomed young lady becomes the toast of... Full review

William Wellman was really a helluva director. Anyone that can do a movie like this, and make "The Ox-Bow Incident" too, must have been born to direct. Coming in at a breezy 75 minutes, "Nothing Sacred" is still very funny on... Full review

The votes for this movie must have been based on political correctness, for based on hilarity, assuming one has a healthy sense of the absurd, this film rates a solid 10. True, those who are thin-skinned will find the racial and... Full review

The eternally relevant Nothing Sacred is about truth, the media and falling in love. Reviewed: March 20th, 2004 Nothing Sacred is a great romantic comedy, and quite socially significant. The great Carole Lombard was as beautiful as she was funny. ... Full Review

This edition of NOTHING SACRED is the best that Laserdisc collectors are ever likely to see, since the film has fallen into the public domain. Now thanks to Lumivision and Eden Productions, NOTHING SACRED ($40) can be appreciated in its full Technicolor glory. ... Full Review

Still, this presentation is better than the colorless fourth generation slop prints of NOTHING SACRED that played late night television. Fredric March is wonderful as Wally Cook, the newspaperman who turns out to be too smart for his own good. ... Full Review
