ABOUT THE FILM:
“Ben Hecht has been squinting at ‘The Front Page’ again and, with one eye crinkled shut and the other sardonically glinting, he has written an impiously impish comedy about that recurrent journalistic marvel, the seven-day wonder. NOTHING SACRED, which is the title of the eminent professor’s thesis, and which is now being read at the Music Hall, has given the Fourth Estate the once-over (not so lightly) and has left it applying collodion to its wounds. . . . Only a journalistic renegade, teetering on a critical perch, would dare grant it the distinction of being one of the merrier jests of the cinema year. Mr. Hecht, having served his apprenticeship in the toughest Chicago school, is in a position to bat a skeptical eyebrow over the antics of the wayward press.”
—Frank S. Nugent, The New York Times, November 26, 1937
