Much like Marilyn Monroe, Carole Lombard continues to intrigue even decades after her believe untimely death. An actress skilled at drama but showing a positive preference for comedy, Lombard mixed her pretty beauty with a genuinely rapidly wit and a intelligent, sarcastic intelligence. On hide, she was someone who, even at her most vulenerable, could unruffled obviously consume care of herself. Whereas the joy from watching Katharine Hepburn’s screwball comedies came from seeing the haughty Hepburn brought down a notch or two, the joy of Lombard’s films was watching her force the rest of the world to approach up a few notches to meet her.
One of her most enduring (and endearing) turns came in the 1936 film Nothing Sacred. In a space recycled in countless films since, Lombard is mistakenly told that she is dying. A small-town girl, Lombard’s one wish is to witness Fresh York before she dies. Natrually, Modern York’s high society welcomes her with originate arms and Lombard, on fable of her impending death, becomes the toast of the town. Of course, this is when Lombard finds out that she’s not dying. This is where Nothing Sacred differs from nearly every other film ripped off from it since. Instead of humbly admitting the truth, once-innocent Lombard carries on the charade because she’s grown to cherish the attention! Whereas in today’s Hollywood, nervous studio execs would wonder if this made Lombard an unlikeable character for middle America, the classic screwball comedies of the ’30s had the guts to simply go with their putrid situations. Instead of simply going out of their plan to conform to presumed audience expectations, filmmakers like Howard Hawks and William A. Wellman (who directed this film in a nicely breezy style) understood that if they simply went to the disaster to 1) obtain a profitable script and 2) cast talented performers like Lombard, audiences would be willing to follow their films wherever they led. To be just, I suspect audiences haven’t changed but unfortunately, filmmaking has. The screwball comedy is a genre that fresh Hollywood tries to recreate every couple of years. Usually, they fail. Luckily, we have films like Nothing Sacred, My Man Godfrey, 20th Century, and others to remind us of how extraordinary these films (and their stars) truly were.
NOTHING SACRED has all the legal elements to accomplish it a classic screwball comedy. It’s short (a mere 74 minutes), has tight and speedy scenes, some out-of-the-blue and very unusual occurences (as mentioned by others, the boy biting March is a riot), stars who aren’t terrorized to rep laughable or messy to invent the best laugh, and a strong, scathing message.
Ben Hecht’s script is superb, providing many belly laughs during the movie, and chuckles long after the VCR or DVD player has been shut off. Carole Lombard is her hilarious wacky self. I admire sad and white movies, but I must admit the Technicolor really allowed me to relish her beefy beauty. And as for Fredric March, well, I’ve always had a sweet dwelling for his acting, and he certainly didn’t disappoint in this production. He and Lombard balance each other out perfectly. And, as was characteristic of the huge comedies of the 30s, the supporting characters excel in their roles to round out a practically perfect comedy.

As far as the film itself, there were three aspects that I particularly enjoyed. One being the proper, in your face idea of male/female relationships. The bedroom fighting scene between March and Lombard is hilarious, one of the highlights of the movie, but would never gain it on veil in any of today’s movies. In today’s movie world where you can’t offend ANYONE (except Christians or Republicans), and you usually can’t display any kind of physical humor toward women (yet it’s OK to beat the guy to a pulp), the un-PC nature of this 60+ year passe production gives it unexpected freshness.
A second exclusive point is the change in the romantic comedy formula. You know, it almost always goes boy meets girl, boy and girl are together for awhile having a jim-dandy time, boy and girl atomize up after tiff or misunderstanding of some sort, boy or girl makes a witty, cutesy speech to accept them succor together. This movie changes at least the last section of that formula to focus the last request from “How will they acquire abet together? ” to “How will they fetch out of the plight together? “. Nice limited twist.
A final spellbinding aspect was the deliberate hiding of Lombard and March’s faces during most of their more intimate scenes. This is fitting considering the movie was a rail against the mass media’s need to sensationalize and exploit every intimate thing (and the masses’ willingness to happily join in the explotation) .
