Nothing Sacred is a satire comedy that mostly focuses on death. It is witty, cynical, a bit race but really and entertaining, part of the screwball comedy genre. Carol Lombard is the lead in the film, and she give a great performance. She is stunning and funny through out. I found this film to be on par with My man Godfrey, but i did not enjoy it as much. In order to get some of the jokes you have to put yourself in a 30's mindset, but the film is funny no matter. The plot is a bit far fetched but its the acting that keeps it all together. I had a great time watching this film and recommend it to anyone interested in a good laugh.

This one of the earlier color films, and the way it shows color is simply fantastic. At one point, there is a bouquet in the middle of a table with flowers on it, and the flowers look so vibrant. Color now does not have the same effect on film as color did then. The light always shines evenly on everyone's face, which is not common in this age, when light was focused mostly on the faces of the female characters. The characters lines are witty and silly, making it truly fitting as a screwball comedy. Although screwball comedies are not really my thing as far as genres go, there isn't anything I would have changed in this movie.

After watching Nothing Sacred, I found it to be quite boring after watching 20 minutes. I couldn't really catch on to it and like it. A few camera shots I really like, like when Hazel and Wally are in the box and Wally asks Hazel to marry him, I really like the tracking/ push in shot. I also found the establishing shots to be very nice also. Carole Lombard was great in My Man Godfrey and she's very good in this film as well. It seems like she plays the character of an over dramatic young female very well. I also found the actor who played the doctor and Wally quite good as well. The plot was kind of clouded for me I couldn't really understand it all too well. You could easily see the screwball comedy aspects in the film though. They stood out quite well.

Nothing Sacred is a 1937 screwball romantic comedy filmed in Technicolor and directed by William A. Wellman. Carole Lombard and Fredric March star in this somewhat unrealistic, over the top story, but the acting is solid, entertaining, and there is a strong supporting cast as well. The cynical nature of the press is portrayed in an entertaining manner and the scenes in the newspaper offices are well done, with excellent cinematography, lighting and snappy dialog. The snappy dialog accompanies a snappy pace that starts at the beginning with character caricatures and whimsical upbeat music and then a transition to city scenery and narration. The "Hello Hazel" skywriting is pretty cool.
