Review of Ball of Fire (1941) by Orlok W — 27 Nov 2014
Wow, what a cast! Let's see, there's Gary Cooper, Barbara Stanwyck, Richard Haydn, Oscar Homolka, Henry Travers, S.Z. Sakall, Tully Marshall, Dana Andrews, Allen Jenkins and more! Classic film fans know all these names.
.. It will show you what Yum-Yum means--Snow White elated fable with an early 1940s touch. This modern day Snow White is riddled with lingo commonly spoken by people in early 1940s America. Instead of being a pure and innocent woman as in the original version, this Snow White is a nightclub singer with dubious associations to a known gangster.
Also, the character played by Gary Cooper is both Prince Charming and head dwarf rolled into one... The Egghead is Mightier Than the Hood!!
