Nothing but the Truth is a 1941 American comedy film directed by Elliott Nugent and starring Bob Hope, Paulette Goddard and Edward Arnold.

The book and play had previously formed the basis of a 1929 movie, also called Nothing But the Truth, starring Richard Dix and Wynne Gibson.

When Steve objects to Ralston's practice of pushing bad stocks onto his clients, he claims that he could get by just as well by telling the truth as by lying.

Ralston and his partner Dick Donnelly, along with client Tom van Dusen (Gwen's boyfriend), bet Steve that he can't be completely honest for twenty-four hours straight.

In the late evening, an exotic dancer named Linda Graham enters the yacht, looking for Dick, who has promised her backing for her show.

During the night, the partners steal Steve's clothes to prevent him from leaving the ship, but he borrows a dress from Linda.

The partners celebrate since they have won the bet, but it turns out Steve's valet had reset the clocks when he noticed they were wrong.
