Reviews:

ring of great “fire”
“Ball of Fire” is known as the last great pre-war comedy, and with good reason. It all begins when a group of egghead professors are writing an encyclopedia. Then, grammarian Bertram Potts (Gary Cooper) realizes that he doesn’t know any modern slang. Frequenting the nightclubs, he meets dancer Katherine “Sugarpuss” O’Shea (Barbara Stanwyck), who has a connection to the mob. This leads all the characters on the most unexpected adventure.

I really liked the way that every one of the nerdy professors is tempted to correct every mistake made by the others. But the gags throughout the movie are really something. Hilarious.

Raises Some Question
How in hell have I never seen this film before or even been aware of it? How did I forget just how freaking hot Barbara Stanwyck was back in the day?Why can’t Hollywood make movies this smart, funny, and good these days? Even though it’s been displayed in other films like “Mr Deeds Goes to Town,” how did Gary Cooper’s comedic abilities surprise me in this one?

This is a very enjoyable film. It’s got snappy, funny dialogue and while the premise requires suspension of belief it’s not so far-fetched as to prevent enjoyment.

While there are film noir qualities it is more in line with the screwball comedies of the period. Big plus for featuring Gene Krupa and Roy Eldridge in the nightclub scene.

Highly recommended.
