Entertainment Reviews:
Rating: A --
The 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

Rating: 3/4 --
The 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!"

Classically funny Wellman screwball comedy starring wonderful Lombard, equalled by March.

Wellman 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.

Description by OLDIES.com:
Nothing Sacred is a classic screwball comedy produced in 1937 by David O. Selznick and stars Carole Lombard and Fredric March with a great supporting cast. A New York newspaper reporter played by Fredric March mistakenly reports on a story which leads to his demotion at the newspaper where he is now required to write obituaries. Begging his boss for another chance, March points out a story about a woman dying from radium poisoning in the fictional town of Warsaw, Vermont. Hazel Flagg, played by Carole Lombard, discovers that she is not actually dying but is distressed at the fact of spending the rest of her life in Vermont. Unaware that Hazel is not dying, Wally Cook (Fredric March) invites Hazel and her doctor as guests to New York and to the Morning Star Newspaper. The newspaper uses Hazel's story to increase its circulation. A ticker tape parade and a key to the city are given to Hazel who has become an inspiration to many. Wally (March) and Hazel (Lombard) fall in love and Wally asks Hazel to marry him even though he knows she is dying. Things get a bit complicated from that point, but not to worry, the story has a happy ever-after ending. A truly great comedy which Lombard said was one of her personal favorites!
