Ball of Fire
Hollywood legends Billy Wilder and Howard Hawks worked to adapt Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs into this delightful screwball comedy set in 1940s Manhattan. Barbara Stanwyck plays a showgirl on the run who takes refuge with a group of erudite bachelors, who recognize that her street smarts and jive talk fill a gap in their compendium of human knowledge. Modern linguists will respect Gary Cooper’s scholarly fight for descriptive rather than prescriptive grammar. Everyone else will appreciate Stanwyck’s stylish outfits and slangy witticisms, and S.Z. Sakall’s valiant defense of her honor.
