“A marvelous black comedy full of wit and journalistic wisdom… just as funny today as when it was first filmed.” – TV Guide

A legendary, though lesser-seen, screwball classic, NOTHING SACRED is one of the few comedies from the era to be filmed in Technicolor. Comedy queen Carole Lombard—in the only color feature she made before her untimely death—and Frederic March face off in a brilliant media satire scripted by ex-newspaperman Ben Hecht and directed by genre maestro William Wellman. This surprisingly cynical black comedy stars March as a shady reporter who exploits the tragic (if dubious) story of a young woman (Lombard) dying of radium poisoning. Briskly paced and sharp as a tack, NOTHING SACRED is an uproarious delight.

Ben Hecht's screenplay was also the basis of a Broadway musical Hazel Flagg (1953), with Helen Gallagher, as well as Living It Up (1954), a comedy film starring Dean Martin in the Winninger role, Jerry Lewis in the Lombard role (as Homer Flagg), and Janet Leigh in the March role.
