ManiakJiggy This is How Movies Should Be Made

Borgarkeri A bit overrated, but still an amazing film

FuzzyTagz If the ambition is to provide two hours of instantly forgettable, popcorn-munching escapism, it succeeds.

Marva-nova Amazing worth wacthing. So good. Biased but well made with many good points.

Olivia S The film had surprisingly very good taste. It incorporated both color picture and black and white into one film but alternated at just the right scenes. The color picture did add to the crazy feel of the film. All the colors were very vibrant, it was just like the plot. The camera sometimes shot from a far which made you feel very distant from the story. Most of the actors were good. It was a very wild feeling while watching it, since the characters were all over the place.The plot was actually pretty organized considering the way it played out. It was just a silly film, there was an actually suspenseful underline to it. Enjoyable and enhancing film!

saalehab This was indeed a hilarious movie, and reminded me (because I saw it first) of the Movie with Queen Latifah "last holiday". Any movie with impending death is supposed to be sad, but when you through in a misunderstanding and a man and a woman, and NYC it's definitely going to be "screwball comedy." The actors Lombard and March portraying a really great pair, the movie went along smoothly with some really funny jokes. The comedy with such a sort of tragic (for those in the movie who didn't know she wasn't dying) background somehow worked to make it more funny. And it was quite over the top, which is what makes a screwball comedy a screwball comedy. It just worked so well.

Cd1083 It's not often that a film is able to pull off punching a woman right in the face as fodder for comedy, but it was the 30's, and domestic abuse was funny back then. No points are deducted here for poor taste, mainly because Carole Lombard got her retribution in satisfying manner. 1937's screwball comedy, Nothing Sacred does nothing special. It's a short film clocking in at less than 80 minutes; wasting no time to throw down 'The End' once the conclusion was declared. Only ten years had passed since the first 'talkie' in 1927, yet Nothing Sacred unlike many others during this period has aged quite well in comparison. Rarely while watching this film, would anyone be detracted by any technological restrictions, this inaugural screwball filmed in color has been restored to levels that allow it to look marvelous, even by today's standards.This is not a film I would go out of my way to watch again, but when taking the time to consider where film was at in 1937, it's easy to be impressed with how enjoyable of a film this was. To provide some context, actress Margaret Hamilton has a bit part early in the movie as "the drug store lady." You might better know her as the "Wicked Witch of the West," a role she's iconically play two years later.Overall, Nothing Sacred does stand on it's own. It tackles an important topic in journalistic ethics along with presenting it in absorbable medium. The acting is solid and the chemistry between the two leads is strong. This is the type of a film that lays a strong groundwork for future classics though can stand on its own without excuses. There is much to like here for film lovers who have a soft spot for these 30s-40's romantic comedies.

codymontanye Nothing Sacred turned out to be a very hilarious comedy that isn't meant to be taken very seriously. It makes light of some various serious topics and does a great job with that without crossing the line. I found the acting to be very good and the combination of the two characters to be very entertaining because of how they interacted with each other. I also really liked that the movie started fast, it wasn't a slow start at all; it didn't over explain, but it also gave you enough information to jump in firmly. Overall, there's not too much to be said without someone watching the film, but I would highly recommend it if you're looking for a laugh.
