Nothing But The Truth (1941) :
Brief Review -
Let me tell you a bitter "truth"- We say they don't make cult comedies anymore, but when they did, we did not really care about it. Jim Carrey's "Liar Liar" is a very popular comedy, and for Hindi cinema audiences, there is Govinda's "Kyu Ki Main Jhooth Nahin Bolta." If you really liked these movies, then believe me, you are going to like "Nothing But The Truth" more-almost double. The 1940s decade gave us many great comedies. Some of them didn't work at the box office but gained a cult fan following, while others did well at the box office along with a fine reception. I can't believe that movie fans and critics ignored this sweet little gem. Was there too much competition, or was it because Bob Hope was not as popular as Cary Grant, Gary Cooper, Clark Gable, James Cagney, Edward G. Robinson, and others who have some great and well-known comedies to their names? I had a blast watching this movie, and I am saying this after watching all those cult comedies of the silent era and talkie movies from the 30s. Now, do you believe me? Just watch it, and I assure you, you won't regret it. Rather, you'd join me in the campaign to make this one more popular. What a fantastic comedy. What a great piece of writing in the chaotic entertainer's club! In simple words, it's the power of "truth" and how harmful it can be. Gladly, there are no serious consequences or moments that can make it serious, even for a moment. It stays steady on its funny ride. Bob Hope has my heart and cheeks. Thank you for the entertainment, mam. What a splendid show. The rest of the cast has done fine too. The biggest strength of the film is its screenplay and storyline-all thanks to the original play. Elliott Nugent has given a cult comedy that hardly anyone knows, and I am glad to be one of those rare people who have watched it. This is how a "classic comedy" looks in my book. Shame on movie fans, critics, and IMDb users for keeping it this low.
RATING - 8/10*
