Nowadays, everybody and their dog's company is offering old movies on DVD. With the results you'd expect. Having spent about a bazillion bucks on old movies, I learned the hard way that you generally get what you pay for. So, I wasn't expecting much when I ordered Marengo's double feature of "Nothing Sacred" and "A Star Is Born." Imagine my delight when it turned out to be a terrific bargain.
Both movies are Selznick productions made in 1937, both directed by William Wellman and both are technicolor starring vehicles for Frederick March. March's leading ladies are respectively Carole Lombard and Janet Gaynor.
"Nothing Sacred," co-starring Lombard, is a hilarious screwball comedy about fibbing, fraud and all the attendant tangle-ups. The ensemble cast plays it broadly and brilliantly. Hazel Flagg (Lombard) has been diagnosed with radium poisoning (fatal) by the local doc. But early on, Doc admits to her that she's OK after all - says he'd got so he was seeing radium poisoning everywhere. Hazel's a little disappointed. Not much excitement in a small New England burg and it was fun being the center of attention. Meanwhile, a reporter (March) from a big New York paper has arrived to do a human interest story on Flagg. He's so taken with her "bravery" in the face of impending death that he offers her a fabulous all-expenses-paid trip to New York to do it up right before the bitter end. They know it's wrong, but Hazel and Doc convince themselves that after all they've been through they're entitled. So, off they go, Hazel becoming the next New York flavor of the month. The movie's a great romp, skewering hypocrisy, affectation, sham and pretense, sparing "Nothing Sacred."
"A Star Is Born," co-starring Gaynor, is a well made drama that was rather overshadowed by the Judy Garland/James Mason remake of 1954. But this picture has merit because of the fine performances of the cast and Wellman's directorial touch. Janet Gaynor plays Esther Blodgett, an average kid who wants to be in the movies, so her loving granny subsidizes the trip out to Hollywood with her funeral money. Esther meets top actor Norman Maine (March) by accident while waitressing at a party and it's through him that she eventually gets her toehold in the industry. They fall in love, marry and live "happily" ever after. As Esther's star rises, Norman's becomes eclipsed and he succumbs to alchoholism. There's hypocrisy, affectation, sham and pretense in this movie, too, framed within the story of the movie industry itself. However, instead of fun and satire, we find tragedy and sorrow.
Gaynor had a meteoric rise in silents and in fact became the recipient of the first Oscar for best actress in 1929. She was at the top of her game in this piece, receiving the nomination again for best actress, but her career abruptly ended after just two more pictures, eerily echoing the theme of "A Star Is Born."
So, I recommend you get this DVD, kids. The price is right. The quality's surprisingly good and the stories are ideal vehicles for the stars and director. A jug of root beer, a tub of popcorn and thee...
And from there, a box of surprises was opened: Wellman is not only the author of the story of «A Star Is Born» but he also directed the original version in 1937; he made stars of James Cagney in «The Public Enemy» and Gary Cooper in «Beau Geste,» he did the classic «The Story of G.I. Joe» from the writings of war correspondent Ernie Pyle; he directed the lynching Western «The Ox Bow Incident», and the dramas about the economic depression of 1920-30 «Heroes for Sale» and «Wild Boys of the Road.» The Hollywood Academy never awarded him Best Director for anything, but «Wings», «The Public Enemy», «The Story of G.I. Joe», «The Ox Box Incident» and «Wild Boys of the Road» were declared National Film Registries by the US Library of Congress.
And I have not mentioned his pre-Hays code films, about joyful fille de joie, and his flair for screwball comedies that I was completely unaware of, such as «Roxie Hart» and especially «Nothing Sacred», with the beautiful Carole Lombard, the "Queen of Screwball Comedy" as Hazel Flagg, a deadly radiation victim.
In «Nothing Sacred», a few punches are directed to the media and how journalists exploit the imminent death of a girl intoxicated by irresponsible mining activity. But Hazel Flagg is not contaminated: she is a mere excuse to backfire on social ills… "a lo Hollywood", of course. In the end, nothing transgressive happens and everyone is happy, which, after all, is the goal of a comedy-comedy. But many comedies are more worth seeing than the majority, to witness those dialogues, those verbal exchanges said like a machine gun, without the scatological jokes that became fashionable since «Porky's» and «National Lampoon's Animal House». Enjoy.
P.S. One of Jr.'s insight corrects a think I'd always thought, which was that HE plays the kid who gnaws on Mr. Cook's leg shortly after arriving in Warsaw, Vt.; but he informs that it was actually the one and only Billy Barty. Beautiful.
P.P.S. The detail is so remarkable that I'd never ever noticed in any other video release, that someone actually emerges from the front door Selznick International Pictures' building. I wonder if it may be even be David Zero himself(?)
To those who can't stand this gem, aren't able to find the humour in it at all; all I have to say to them is well...all I can say is some things may be Sacred, but nothing and nobody's perfect--and by that I mean You!

From what I've read about the difficulty of making an HD restoration of this film, I have to give KL an A for effort, and I would give this transfer an overall rating of four out of five.
After all is said and done, I think the KL 2018 Blu-ray transfer is the finest I have ever seen of this wonderful, funny, satirical film. Collectors, this is the version you want for your collection.
