Leave your thoughts about Ball of Fire.
| Commercial Appeal (Memphis, TN)John Beifuss'I've gone goofy, completely goofy,' Cooper says, as the chaos of slang overwhelms his orderly vocabulary: 'Bim-buggy, slap-happy.' Watching 'Ball of Fire,' you feel similarly liberated. |
| Movie MomNell MinowOne of the wittiest scripts ever -- an underrated treasure. |
| Village VoiceCharles TaylorBall of Fire came out five days before Pearl Harbor. You can imagine Americans listening to its flood of slang and knowing exactly what they were fighting for. |
| Journal and Courier (Lafayette, IN)Bob BloomA great screwball comedy, with Stanwyck in one of her sexiest roles. |
| Slant MagazineFernando F. CroceAfter the rush of His Girl Friday, Ball of Fire is a more sedate ride, full of such marvelous passages as the conga line Stanwyck's delectable Sugarpuss teaches the professors. |
| Kalamazoo GazetteJames SanfordWhat a team: Stanwyck was rarely sexier, Cooper never more endearing. A jewel of a comedy. |
| Ozus' World Movie ReviewsDennis SchwartzDoes a fine job subverting the Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs children's story. |
| User ReviewBrynn Hloved it....so cute! I felt so bad for poor Pottsy! |
| User ReviewBenjamin HSugarpuss may very well be the sexiest woman to have lived |
| User ReviewGreg Wbesides the obvious nod to 'snow white & the 7 dwarves' this comedy is all the stars and director at their creative peaks |
