Nothing Sacred

ComedyDramaFantasyRomance77 min

When a mistaken diagnosis brands a young Vermont woman as terminally ill, a New York newspaper columnist whisks her to the city and turns her into a national cause. Carole Lombard is the small-town patient caught between sympathy and publicity, while Fredric March’s opportunistic reporter keeps the headlines coming. Moving from rural Vermont to Manhattan newsrooms and banquets, the story runs on press hype, civic pride, and a romance complicated by the fact that the whole sensation began with a medical error.
