Blu-ray Review: Nothing Sacred
Brevity is a severely undervalued trait in film - and in film comedy in particular. Witness the succinct hilarity in William Wellman's 1937 screwball feature Nothing Sacred .
The first half of screwball comedy Nothing Sacred crackles with snappy dialogue and absurd situations handled with razor-sharp comic timing.
It's strange how, in retrospect and upon reflection, a film like Ernst Lubitsch's 1933 romantic comedy Design for Living seems radical, utopian, and revolutionary while at the same time remaining about as affable and instantaneously appealing and gratifying as practically anything you've ever seen as it crackles with intelligence and wit.
