CLASSIC COMEDY REVIEW: Gary Cooper and Barbara Stanwyck are a laugh riot in Howard Hawk's "Ball Of Fire" (1941). Produced by Samuel Goldwyn, with a screenplay by Billy Wilder and Charles Brackett and based on "Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs", the two stars get hysterical support from a terrific group of character actors . Playing the dwarfs/professors are comedy veterans; Henry Travers, Richard Hadyn, Oskar Homolka, Leonid Kinsky, Tully Marshall, Aubrey Mather and the adorable S.Z."Cuddles" Sakall. Also along for the hijinks are handsome Dana Andrews, Dan Duryea and Kathleen Howard. This was the second time that Cooper and Stanwyck were paired in the same year. They loved working together and you'll love the results.

I do love Steve's Barbara Stanwyck impression
Hooray!!!Thanks so much for watching! Please take a moment and push the "LIKE" button. It really helps!.
Lydiard91 so do I,priceless
It’s great ….. Steve’s impersonation of Bette Davis is sublime!. He is very good at other impersonations as well…
This film showcases Billy Wilder's love of American slang and hepcat jazz culture, and Stanwyck was never sexier. What a set of legs! Also an early showing of future noir icons Dana Andrews, Dan Duryea, and if you look quick, Elisha Cook Jr.. Photographed by the legendary Gregg Toland (CITIZEN KANE) utilizing his trademark deep focus camerawork. He also shot the remake A SONG IS BORN, his last movie.
a song is born is truely an unbelievable piece!!
I just finished watching this movie for the first time and LOVED it! Your review is spot on. Barbara Stanwyck...whew! Some of her lines/acting made me blush. And I really like the Cooper-Stanwyck pairing.
She's delightfully brash and so funny and he's adorable and beguiling. " Beat it. Professor! Scrim. scram, scraw!" Hilarious! Thanks for watching! Steve
You , Steve are having so much fun, and we are having so much fun watching you reviewing these really great films! Please TCM, hire this talented and fun reviewer who knows his stuff better than you dour people! Those folks bore me silly and they obviously don’t want to be there! Bring on some fun and love that these films deserve!!
Thank you so much!
You're a hoot. Nobody's better than Stanwyck about whom Walter Matthau said in a tribute to her, something to the effect of, "When she was good she was great and when she was bad she was better". The best from any day and age.
Absolutely! She could do it all!
No mention of the great Allen Jenkins as the guy who comes into the house and speaks his endless slang and totally confounds the profs. Jenkins is one of my all time favorite character actors.
Mine too. He's great in this!
It is amazing the number of films Allen Jenkins appears in. Was he ever the lead actor in a motion picture?
He is also one of my favorite character actors. I think my first introduction to him was his appearance on I Love Lucy and his voice in the Top Cat cartoon series. He could do both drama and comedy so well. What a character!
"A subpoenia!" I laugh every time I hear this.
Yes! hahaha
Sugar Puss is sensational!
Why doesn't TCM hire you to do intros?
Speaking of Dana Andrews, did you ever do a review of "Laura"? His eye line and smirk when Clifton Webb is getting out of the tub is *classic*.
Gene Tierney is so beautiful in it and "Waldo's" obsession and possessiveness about Laura always reminds me of the almost-end of All About Eve when George Sanders says "why I should even want you is beyond me".
Ball of Fire is probably my favorite Barbara Stanwyck movie...with The Lady Eve right behind it. "And you had to go water your neck." lol
"As red as The Daily Worker and just as sore" is one of my favorite lines in any movie EVER.
I love her "streptococci" line. Hikarious. Incidentally, I reviewed "Laura" years ago, but for some inexplicable reason, it was removed from UA-cam and got lost in the shuffle. I may have to do it again. I love Dana in "Fallen Angel" too, the way he kisses Linda Darnell is too hot for words!
@@STEVEHAYESTOQ I would so give that a "love", because I DO, but UA-cam only gives the "thumbs up" option. I just made mention of Burt Lancaster on my Facebook page and HIS incredible hotness, but Dana was up there, too.
lol...you should do some Lancaster movies just for the eye candy ;) As so many things do tend to circle back, I'm hearing Clifton Webb in my head referring to Vincent Price in Laura as a "male beauty". I'd throw myself away on Burt Lancaster *any* *day* (if he were reborn a few decades ago) (I'm not really into the necrophilia).
Back to Ball of Fire...FULL to the BRIM with great lines. SO MANY GREAT LINES.
It's also interesting that A Song Is Born was made only about six years later and, while super fun for all the music, was such a nightmare to work on and such a disappointment for all that Technicolor fabulousness. Why do a remake of such an instant classic not even a decade later?
Sorry to be such a non-sequitur spouter...it must be quarantine and being stuck in the midwest has me a bit pent up to talk with somebody with intelligence and familiarity about movies I love.
Don't forget "The Mad Miss Manton" with Henry Fonda. It's one I never tire of.
Thanks for the reminder! Happy Holidays! Steve
I adore this movie! One of my favorites from Stanwyck. Thanks for the review, I always love hearing your take on films I have seen.
Thanks so much for watching! Please take a moment and push the "LIKE" button. It really helps!.
I bought this film on the strength of your ever-fabulous review Steve... It's sooo cute and funny! Couldn't get "Drum-boogie" out of my head for days!! Cannot believe they originally wanted Ginger Rogers for Sugarpuss O'Shea??!!! Barbara Stanwyck is so perfect in the role and Gary Cooper is so cast against type that it's hilarious!! Thanks Steve! X
Hooray! Mission accomplished! I love this one too! Especially Stanwyck; '"Alright Professor, pull in your clutch. Scrim, scram, scraw!" Fabulous! Thanks for watching! Steve
Great review. Anyone who has ever stereotyped Gary Cooper as the shy and handsome cowboy who says "yup" needs to see Ball of Fire. Here, he's funny, nerdy, verbose, pedantic, adorable, and has great chemistry with the feisty Barbara Stanwyck. Also, anyone who wants to study the evolution of American slang or even American English as a whole should see this. This film is a great time capsule of American slang.
It is! It's due to that fabulous Brackett/ Wilder script! So smart! Thanks for watching! Best; Steve
Thank God Ginger Rogers turned it down! I swear, she'd have turned down the role of Mary because Joseph wasn't the baby's father. And instead we've got this wonder of a film with Barbara Stanwyck looking and being sensational (as somebody else has said, those legs!), and Gary Cooper and those wonderful character actors perfectly cast and adorable. Who doesn't love Cuddles Sakall, and I've always thought Oskar Homolka was brilliant - perfect in "I Remember Mama", and amazing that he was still putting in excellent work right up into the 1960s, as Colonel Stok opposite Michael Caine's Harry Palmer character in "Funeral in Berlin" and "Billion Dollar Brain", and even the 1970s in "The Tamarind Seed". Richard Haydn had an equally long career, and I've got an anecdote for you about "The Sound of Music" - long ago I saw a television interview with an elderly Austrian lady, the real Maria who'd married Von Trapp and become stepmother to all those children, and when she was asked whether it had all been as depicted in "The Sound of Music" she gave an Austrian shrug and said, "You must let Hollywood do its Hollywooding". Which may be the best comment about Hollywood ever made. Back to "Ball of Fire", Stanwyck's seduction of Gary Cooper is hilarious and so sexy, and when you see him play an innocent you realise what a good actor he was. All those leading ladies ... Howard Hawks, Billy Wilder and that wonderful cast: it's just gorgeous. Best wishes, Alida
Yes. Of the "big three dramatic leading ladies"...by that I mean, Davis, Crawford and Stanwyck , Barbara could really do comedy. She had brilliant timing and knew how to throw lines away. The others were Claudette Colbert, Carole Lombard and Roz Russell, who had the most delicious comic timing. The teaming of Wilder and Brackett with this and "Midnight" , simply can't be beat. God Bless all those refugees who somehow managed to escape the Nazis, ended up in Hollywood and changed the course and the look of American films forever. Not a big fan of Ginger Rogers. Though I loved her in "Roxy Hart", which is the one she should habve been nominated for. She always seemed to have a chip on her shoulder. Of the gals who came up from the chorus, I always thought, Paulette Goddard was infinitely more talented. Steve
@@STEVEHAYESTOQ Have you considered reviewing any of Carole Lombard's films? I can't find any on your website and I'm fond of "My Man Godfrey", adore "To Be Or Not To Be" (my favourite) and also love "On The Twentieth Century". I saw a musical of the last in West End in the 1970s. The book and lyrics were Comden and Green so you must know it. Best wishes, Alida
Steve, your imitation of how Stanwyck speaks is hysterical - and spot on! You channel her perfectly.
' I can play common, I am common.'
Thanks so much! I love your comments!
First of all, Steve, you do awesome impersonations of so many Silver Screen Stars. I loved Barbara. This was one of my favorites of hers. And, that sequined dress! The way the lights hit it in glorious B & W. OMG! She was one of the classic actresses who should have taken home an Oscar and 1941 was no exception. Sorry, Joan Fontaine, but Barbara would have been my pick. In general, Oscar just doesn't seem to favor comedic roles in the best actor or actress catagories and it's a shame because it's harder to make people laugh than cry. Gary Cooper was an actor that was easy to watch. Just no effort. Just Coop. The supporting cast was great, S.Z., Richard and the rest. However, Mary Field as Miss Totten, who had that major crush on Coop, she showed her heart on her sleeve and it was funny and, of course, he had no stinkin' clue. I loved seeing a very young Dan Duryea. I always thought he was cute. Take care.
I love this one as well. And you are right, comedy didn't often get a fair shake at the Oscars. Stanwyck deserved it for several perfomances as well as a few she wasn't nominated for.; ( "My Reputation"/ "The Strange Love Of Martha Ivers"/ "The Furies" & "Titanic"). Sassy, professional and always so honest. Plus, as I've said before, unlike many of her contemporaries, good both in comedy & drama. The supporting cast and that Billy Wilder/ Charles Brackett script simply can't be beat and as always in a Goldwyn movie, it was a class production all the way around. Dan Duryea was just getting started after the success in "The Little Foxes" that same year and also for Goldwyn. He had a great career playing cons, swindlers and ner do wells and was in reality a lovely family man and the nicest guy on the planet. Take care and thanks for watching! Best Steve
@@stevenhayes4063 Amen, Steve! Thanks for the background info on Dan Duryea too.
This was the first movie my parents went to see, on their second date, at the Loew's State Theater in Syracuse (that's for you, Steve 😘). So, this movie always holds a special place in my heart.
LOL! I just watched "The Ten Commandments" the other nite, which was my first movie at The Lowes State when I was i highschool! I loved revisitibg it when I was doing shows at The Redhouse. I miss Syracuse! Hope all is well with you and that you have a lovely, SAGE Labor Day! Steve
Drum Boogie.. great number with Gene Krupa!
I know. She's so hot and he's so manic!
Same year she did "The Lady Eve" with Fonda. Loved her reunion with S.Z. Sakall in "Christmas in Connecticut."
And not too long before she did "Lady Of Burlesque". Loved her all during the '40's. Yes, she and "Cuddles" made a creat Christmas team.
@@STEVEHAYESTOQ Just found your channel. When I was a teen in the 70's in those pre-VCR days, I would set my alarm for the middle of the night to watch an old movie. Clark Gable was the one for me. I have TCM and other channels today to help me get a better night's sleep. And now, at 65 I'm doing a deep dive into the music of my youth...the whole Troubadour/Laurel Canyon singer-songwriter thing. I was thrilled back in the 80's when Linda Ronstadt did three albums of the American Songbook with Nelson Riddle. Though I loved "Heat Wave" and "You're No Good," she was now in my wheelhouse. Thanks for responding, Steve. As a new subscriber, I'm excited to see what I've been missing. Going to see if you've ever done "It Happened One Night!"
@@lnl3237 Welcome aboard! As it happens, " It Happened One Night" is on my "To Do" list. So glad you are watching and that you enjoy what you see. More to come! Best Wishes; Steve By the way, my favorite singer/songwriter has always been Laura Nyro.
@@STEVEHAYESTOQ Best wishes to you, too, Steve. Ashamed to say, I had never heard of Laura Nyro before my musical odyssey began a few years ago. As you can probably tell, I was a very uncool teenager.
See you at the movies!
I never thought of the 7 dwarves analogy. Steve, as always you're spot on!
I can't believe I didn't pick up on the Snow White aspect, either. When Steve mentioned it, I thought to myself, "Oh, yeah - duh!"
I love the classic movies. Can't get enough of them. Im hooked.
Well, thank God, Gary! It's great to have you on board! Thanks so much for watching. Don't forget to sunbcribe if you haven't done so already and push the "LIKE" button. Stay well, stay happy and stay SAFE! Best; Steve
The professors are writing an encyclopedia. Only Gary Cooper was writing the section on slang. That's why he ventured out on the town to college idioms from the streets and in the night club where he met Sugarpuss and the premise of the movie.
All the actors shape professor's characterizations on their areas of expertise. The botanist gives a beautiful speech at the bachelor dinner about how women are as delicate as flowers, and how he loved his wife Genevieve & kept a lock of her hair that was the color of a buttercup...
Seen this movie hundreds of times...
Love this movie so much; I think it's my favorite "old" movie, other than "Shadow of a Doubt". TCM needs to show this way more often.
Thanks so much for watching! Please take a moment and push the "LIKE" button. It really helps!.
Ball of Fire has been available for free on UA-cam for a while now.
@@SarahRenz59 You know you're responding to a comment that's 6 years old, right? UA-cam only added it a in the last few months.
OMG thanks for reviewing this it's my favorite Barbra Stanwyck movie!!!
I love Gary Cooper too, he's so cute and nerdy
They were a great team and comlimented each other.
Thanks, Steve. As always, your reviews are a ball 'o fun! Aw shucks...
Great mimicking! You should be on the marquee.
i love stanwyck [love her in double indemnity and sorry wrong number and remember the night] but haven't ever seen this....i'll make sure i see it when it pops up on tcm.
If you love her in thosem trust me, you'll love her in comedy!
Flawless comedy (and in the same year as her other masterly comedy, The Lady Eve, with Henry Fonda - 'Oh yes, that tall backward boy/ 'He is not backward, he is an ophiologist'). I have watched 'Ball of Fire' a million times and I always find fresh laughs and charms in it. The divine Babs, up there in the American pantheon with Bette, Ingrid and Catherine, here in her glittering, tremendous-fun best. Was there anything this actress couldn't do (and at the highest quality and depth of acting)? She played drama, melodrama, comedy, film noir, and she could more than dance and sing. She played the lover, the wife, the wronged wife, the mother, the out-of-wedlock mother, the killer, the victim, and, of course, she owned the Western (I share Mr Hayes' love of The Furies). And as if a decades-old career full of triumphs was not enough, in her final years she went and stole an entire soap opera series, The Thorn Birds, from under the nose of its protagonists with just one long scene (that rang truer than anything in that series) and by appearing only in the first episode! Had there been any criteria of true merit in awarding Oscars, Barbara would have had at least 3 in the bag. As it is, she went and joined the absolute film master, Alfred Hitchcock and the great Orson Welles in being given none. At least the AFI paid tribute to her.
PS. Your Barbara impersonation rivals your impersonation of Bette. Amazing.
Thanks so much! It's wonderful to find another Stanwyck fan who loves her work as much as I do. I've always felt she was underrated and it's only been through the past decades, TCM and various film festivals that her body of work is being re-examined and finally getting the appreciation it deserves.
I love this movie. Barbara Stanwyck is wonderful. She had a real gift for comedy. Stanwyck could do both comedy and drama. Bette Davis couldn't. Davis fell flat on her face in comedy. Gary Cooper was great in this film. He was tall, handsome, and macho. However, he makes you believe that he is a stogey bookworm and innocent professor. Cooper also had a gift for comedy. This movie is a delight. Dana Andrews was never sexier! I love it when he says to Cooper, "Hey, are you crazy?" on the telephone.
I think Davis was good when the scrpt was. Unfortuantely, with the exception of "All About Eve" and "The Man Who Came To Dinner", she got lame material. Stanwyck could do it all and in this one and "The Lady Eve", she's sensational. Happy Holidays! Best; Steve
One of Steve's best ever! Now I can't wait to see this film!
Thanks so much for watching! Please take a moment and push the "LIKE" button. It really helps!.
yeah exactly Steve! how could you not mention A song is born? ( sorry I bring it up after 10 years..)
Even though the drum boogie moment was one of the greatests ever, for me a song is born is way more epic with all the jazz in real-time and everything else. Billy wilder is the best!!
Well, Billy Wilder is the best! I still think I "Ball Of Fire"t is the best version. Thanks for watching! Happy Summer! ; Steve
Thank you for reminding me how ab fab this film is, Mr. Hayes. And I can just see you in it, playing the Gary Cooper character!
Ha! Well you're very kind and thanks, but at this stage of the game, I'm sure I'd be one of the professors.
Please review Meet John Doe, also starring Gary Cooper and Barbara Stanwyck. The political and social justice themes are totally relevant today.
It's on my "to Do" list. Thanks for watching and please stay SAFE! Best Wishes; Steve
Thanks so much for all the background information on this. It's showing at the Boston Athenaeum next month!
It's just so much fun! '" Alright, Professor, pull in your clutch. Scrim, scram, scraw"!
This is the perfect Late Show movie.
It was Miss Snowie and the 7 Boyz!
Please do Forever Amber, which has Richard Haydn in a decidedly non-comic role.
It's on my to do" list. I love Linda Darnell...and in Technicolor...glorious. Haydn was such a delicious actor. I have a signed photo of him , young and handsome, hanging in my kitchen. Best Wishes; Steve
Such a classic! I must admit the remake was cute! BUT THE ORIGINAL STANDS SUPREME! 🙂
It you are in New England that's where like going xoxo🌹🌹🌹🌷🌷🌷🌈😊🐥🌞🐱

....Steve can do every and any actor/actress's impression it seems.
Some better than others and only the deceased ones...I don't wanna get beat up! LOL! Thanks for the compliment and for watching! Best; Steve
This one of my favorite of your reviews.
Thank you! I love this movie! Happy Spring! Steve
Pretty sure it was... check IMDB for "A Song is Born" (1948, Danny Kaye and Virginia Mayo).
Steve, thanks for giving new breath to the old films. With the rush of passing daze, we tend to forget the old in favor of the new. Then, over time, the old simply disappears; a lost legacy to be sure.
I do my best and will keep putting them out as long as you keep watching them!
The scene at the opening, playing the drums with matchsticks is priceless. Talk about a fun movie, I loved this
Perfect for the holidays! Have lovely , SAFE ones! Best; Steve
2:57 is the best!!! Thanks as always Steve!!
STEVE HAYES TOQ: I absolutely love this movie, thanks! P.S. You can sing "Drum Boogie" to me any time!
Is Gary Cooper one of the handsomest men in the history of movies or what?
I think, not for 'hotness' but a sheer handsome mug, I'd have to say:
1) Gary Cooper
2) Montgomery Clift
3) Guy Madison
4) George Clooney
5) Gregory Peck
6) Hrithik Roshan
7) Errol Flynn
8) Rock Hudson
9) Tom Selleck
10) Mel Gibson

I first saw this movie when I was young and it's still one of my favorites. I have it on demand and watch it a lot.
"Heidi-Ho!" So glad you watched this episode and hope you have a lovely Fall! Steve
"Cuddles" Sakall was Hungarian, not Austrian.
Either way, he was adorable.
such a cute film....thank you for this review
It's so sweet and light hearted!
love this film and the remake with Danny kaye isn't bad either
The remake's not for me. Too much Danny Kaye.
I also loved the musical remake with Danny Kaye and Virginia Mayo.
Not me. But to each his/her own. LOL! Take care and thanks for watching!
Mayo was hopeless in the Stanwyck role. She didn't have the warmth or the acting ability..
One more classic and brilliant review from Steve. Steve is the tops!
Hooary!
You never fail to surprise and entertain! Thanks Steve.
Good! If it gets you to see the films, I'm delighted!
Love you, love your love for these old gems.
