Full Plot Details

Hazel Flagg of Warsaw, Vermont receives the news that her terminal case of radium poisoning from a workplace incident was a complete misdiagnosis with mixed emotions. She is happy not to be dying, but she, who has never traveled the world, was going to use the money paid to her by her factory to go to New York in style. She believes her dreams can still be realized when Wally Cook arrives in town. He is a New York reporter with the Morning Star newspaper. He believes that Hazel's valiant struggle concerning her impending death is just the type of story he needs to resurrect his name within reporting circles after a recent story he wrote led to scandal and a major demotion at the newspaper. He proposes to take Hazel to New York both to report on her story but also to provide her with a grand farewell to life. She accepts. Wally's story results in Hazel becoming the toast of New York. In spending time together, Wally and Hazel fall in love. Hazel not only has to figure out what to do about her relationship with Wally, but also how to conclude her now very public story, which all of New York expects will be a public and imminent death. Others, however, may conclude the story for her.

Movie Reviews

Combustible Celluloid - 10/10 by Jeffrey M. AndersonWellman knew to keep this story short -- it runs just 73 minutes -- and speedy. And yet he understands how to conduct it so that it's more than just breakneck comedy.
Atlantic City Weekly - 10/10 by Lori HoffmanAll time classic satire about media-generated fame
CineVue - 10/10 by Craig WilliamsFor prickly cynicism and choppy one-liners, Nothing Sacred is simply unbeatable.
Chicago Tribune - 9/10 by Michael WilmingtonBen Hecht supplied the cynically amusing script, but the brilliant Lombard makes it fly — wringing laughs from an arsenal of loopy gestures and cacophonous outbursts.
Film Frenzy - 8/10 by Matt BrunsonThe perpetual digs against journalists are especially amusing, as when someone cracks that even "the hand of God reaching down into the mire couldn't elevate one of them to the depths of degradation!"
Seattle Post-Intelligencer - 8/10 by William ArnoldA delirious send-up of bandwagon piety, the film was scripted by that snappiest of Hollywood crank cases, Ben Hecht, and he never got a better, more committed distaff embodiment of his flair for highlighting hooey than Lombard, who throws herself into the role with daffy, tongue-tripping abandon.
Ozus' World Movie Reviews - 8/10 by Dennis SchwartzSophisticated, well-oiled 1930s screwball comedy.
EmanuelLevy.Com - 8/10 by Emanuel LevyThe film has been perceived as a satire on yellow journalism due to Hect'd experience. There's a key line in which a NY journalst is told: A Newspaperman? The hand of God reaching down into the mire couldn't elevate one of them to the depth of degradation
The New Yorker - 8/10 by Pauline KaelHecht handles the material breezily and pungently, poking fun in typical manner of half-scorn at the newspaper publisher, his reporter, doctors, the newspaper business, phonies, suckers, and whatnot.
The New York Times - 7/10 by Howard ThompsonDespite the luminous Lombard and the venomous March, this is perhaps better for its idea than its execution.
