Nothing Sacred

In this deftly scripted, witty comedy, a down-on-his-luck reporter [Wally Cook (Fredric March)] is doomed to writing obituaries for his involuntary part in a hoax. Hoping to recoup some of his credibility, Cook plots a big exposé on Hazel Flagg (Carole Lombard), a foreign girl who's been diagnosed with radiation poisoning and is reportedly dying. Cook offers Hazel an all-expenses-paid trip to New York City in exchange for her exclusive story. In the meantime, Hazel learns she's been misdiagnosed by her perpetually drunk, alcoholic doctor and that she's not going to die after all. But rather than lose her free trip, Hazel decides to keep up the charade, resulting in a comically complicated plot and a heavy dose of guilty conscience. (Echo Bridge Entertainment)
