Nothing Sacred

Carole Lombard cracks wiser than almost anybody in Nothing Sacred, one of the most brilliant and hilarious satires ever to come out of Hollywood.

Lombard portrays Hazel Flagg, a young girl thought to be dying of radium poisoning. Fredric March is a hotshot reporter who writes such heartfelt stories about her plight that she soon becomes a national heroine. Trouble is, Hazel has been misdiagnosed; she's not dying at all. And nobody will allow her to tell the truth!

Few comedies have equaled the freshness of Nothing Sacred. This screwball comedy sparkles with biting dialogue and Lombard's performance is not to be missed.
