BOULE DE FEU - Howard Hawks - 1941- ★★★⭑
---
Une écriture de scénario originale pour un film situé entre la comédie burlesque et le film de gangsters qui joue sur la duplicité, la coquinerie, le comique de situation caricatural. Optimisme américain.

I don't know if there'll ever be anyone as beautiful as #BarbaraStanwyck in #BallOfFire

God, I fucking love this film. The cinematography, the costumes, the SLANG, the #GeneKrupa.

I like to think Duke Pastrami keeps regular correspondence with Shubunka (Barry Sullivan in “The Gangster”) out of tough-guys-with-ridiculous-names solidarity

There’s still time for Disney to cancel their 2024 live action “Snow White” and just put “Ball of Fire” (1941) in theaters again

Nothing could be more insulting than being compared to Andy Hardy

I love how he gets all shy when he’s asking for a parting “yum”

Gary Cooper was 6’3” and Barbara Stanwyck was 5’4” or about 6ft in heels while standing on a couple of very thick books.

Normal men totally describe their urges and instincts as “Normal” during an argument 👀

He doesn’t seem very reluctant

“Any of you can jerk a zipper?”
… Will H. Hays needed to be resuscitated multiple times while watching “Ball of Fire”

If the drummer looks & sounds familiar that’s because he’s legendary Jazz percussionist & composer Gene Krupa

If some of the old professors (Leonid Kinskey and Richard Haydn) seem especially spry, well, it’s because they were actually under the age of 40 but just heavily made up to look like old men
