As Seen On Screen

As Seen on Screen offers readers a chance to see film reviews for the everyman, without all of the clutter and nonsense fed to the average filmgoer. Plain, straitforward, to the point. That's our goal. We offer a diverse catalogue of which to choose from, from silent comedies to modern superhero films. Final note: this is a family friendly blog. We only review films rated G through PG-13, plus the unrated films of yesteryear. So if this sounds like your cup of tea, pull up a crumpet and enjoy. Thanks for your support!

     Nothing but the Truth
1941  NR  COMEDY  1h 30min
CAST— Bob Hope
MUSIC— Floyd Morgan, Leo Shuken, Victor Young  DIRECTOR— Elliot Nugent  BASED ON— Nothing but the Truth (novel), by Frederic S. Isham

     Bob Hope stars in this comedy that fails to live up to its potential. Upstart stockbroker Hope joins a new firm owned by less than honest gentlemen. The boss’ niece corners Hope and persuades him to take $10,000 in charity money and to invest it wisely. He then proceeds to make a bet with his superiors that he can’t tell a lie for twenty four hours. But the truth may be awfully hard to swallow. Truth to tell, this is no classic but an excuse for Hope to ham it up and for confusion to reign. The truth hurts, doesn’t it?
OUR RATING— **
ORIGINAL— Nothing but the Truth (1929)
