		Nothing Sacred is a fierce satire about a small-town girl so desperate to escape her miserable life in Warsaw, Vermont, that she pretends to be dying of radium poisoning so she can go to New York City.
		The result is a media frenzy that has the entire nation in tears, and a film that was years ahead of its time in its biting cynicism.
		Lombard loved this film and for a long time considered it her best, a view shared by director Ruggles, who stated in 1975, "I thought Carole was the revelation.

		As was often the case in their movies, the brothers’ comedy takes aim at the pompous and pious hypocrisy of the upper crust, and this movie features many of their most famous routines, including the stateroom scene, the contract scene, the bed-switching sequence, and the operatic finale.
		The film’s openly subversive and derisive tone was a perfect match for a Depression-era crowd looking for some wealthy authority figures to laugh at.

		Filmed in early three-strip Technicolor and scripted by Ben Hecht and James H. Street, this sharp comedy still sizzles with its cynical take on media profiteering, and the matching of Lombard and March is unforgettably entertaining.
		In a plot recycled in countless films since, Lombard is mistakenly told that she is dying.
		Luckily, we have films like Nothing Sacred, My Man Godfrey, 20th Century, and others to remind us of how wonderful these films (and their stars) truly were.

	THE CINEMA LASER LASERDISC REVIEW-- NOTHING SACRED
		For years, film buffs have been subjected to fourth and fifth generation slop prints of NOTHING SACRED that were barely in color.
		Since Technicolor was a process that required three strips of film to produce the three primary colors, age takes its toll on three separate pieces of film at different rates.
		There are a couple of short passages in the film where the Technicolor matrices (three film elements) have shrunk at different rates, causing parts of the image to shift out of alignment.

	Blogcritics.org: Is Nothing Sacred?
		Ralph Waldo Emerson said, "Nothing is at last sacred but the integrity of your own mind." To deny the concept of sacredness is to condemn all organized religions; no religion can exist without the exclusion from rational inquiry granted by a designation of 'sacred.' Emerson was right.
		To designate something as "sacred" or "holy" is to deprive men of their right to experience each thing for what it is, and not for what it is said to be.
		The phrase "Is there nothing sacred?" is an American cliché, used to describe anything which is shocking, or which violates a taboo.

	Intelliflix: Rent Nothing Sacred on DVD
		One of the first movies filmed in Technicolor, it still looks pretty good though there is subtle graininess and typical for a film of this age, a constant popping noise exists in the background.
		All are watchable, however, and this film is just as wonderful, perhaps even more so, if you turn off the color and simply watch it in glorious fl and white.
		Lombard would give her life for her country on an Indiana war bond tour and this film is a shining example of the magic she left behind.

		I mean, he has to make films, he has to make them a certain way, and he has to tell, you know, kind of, the same story.
		And, most of the film, though, takes place in, more or less, contemporary times, when the character is, now, kind of, permanently on the run.
		The central act in his films tends to be about a person who receives grace, and is not necessarily ready for it, and doesn't know how he, or she, is supposed to react, as a result, and suffers a great deal.

	Is nothing sacred [Archive] - Movie-List Forums
		Called "film sampling," the studio has defended this blatant plundering of the archive by comparing it to the now common process in the music business where an artist pinches a well-known and successful tune, works a little bit of their own work in there and hey presto, comes us with a completely 'new' track.
		A dab hand at reinventing the best of film past in both Bond spoof Austin Powers and the disarmingly silly homage to The Graduate in Wayne's World 2, we might begrudgingly admit that Myers might just have the originality to get away with it.
		"Film sampling is an exciting way to put an original spin on existing films and allow audiences to see old movies in a new light," Myers told Variety.

	Nothing Sacred Standard Release DVD - MovieWeb
		Brimming with witty, acerbic dialogue and hilarious bits of physical business, Nothing Sacred is among the best "screwball" comedies of the 1930s.
		As an added bonus, the film is lensed in Technicolor (avoid those two-color reissue prints), allowing modern viewers to see what New York City looked liked back in 1937.
		Nothing Sacred was later adapted into a Broadway musical, Hazel Flagg, which in turn was filmed by Dean Martin and Jerry Lewis as Living It Up (1954), with Lewis in the Carole Lombard role.

	Nothing Sacred by Douglas Rushkoff
		By reviving this tradition's core values within a modern context, and restoring its emphasis on inquiry over certainty and humidity over sanctity, we may discover a truly rewarding path for disaffected Jews and a set of powerful tools for anyone wrestling with the challenges of contemporary life.
		With nothing to call their own, Jews found ways to help the people who did have material assets negotiate their transactions.
		Jews' later interest in the film, television, and entertainment industries found its roots in these early survival imperatives and cultural goals.

		Having come from the live Vaudeville stage, their influence as the first and most important film comedians to move beyond the silent-film style paved the way for all verbally driven film comedy to come.
		The quality of their films also benefitted from contributions by such notable writers as George S. Kaufman, S. Perelman, and Morrie Ryskind.
		The plot, as such, involves Groucho as the dictator of the state of Freedonia.

		Few films that Lombard, March, or Wellman made were better, and still few films made in the thirties were funnier.
		Neither is very good at all, and with all the new digital forms of film restoration, I should like to think its almost insulting to offer up the printed opinion that any film is the 'best its going to look'.
		So, with this being said, this edition appears to be considerably sharper than Lumivision's former LD, but the color is washed out to the point that what color does exist could be mistaken for an artificial 'colorization' process.
