Those enciclopedic old men don't onow 'it' and 'it' is 'it', those volcanic understated force in Hollywood, thanks to Hays code. Billy and Lubitsh, and Hawks directing a Billy & Brackett screenplay here; are the best in 'it'.

"“One of my favorite scenes is when Barbara Stanwyck builds the little book mound so she can kiss him. And he has to go put a washcloth on his neck! She’s just so beautiful in this. And Dana Andrews is beautiful. But no one is as handsome as Gary Cooper.” - Carrie Fisher “The chemistry between Stanwyck and Cooper is magical…. She’s wonderful in this as a comedienne. The same year, 1941, they also made a Capra movie called Meet John Doe that was so serious…. It shows their range."

"Aikamiespoika Gary Cooper ja 7 homssuista professoria juo piimää ja kirjoittelee sanakirjaa poikkitieteellisessä, seksittömässä kommuunissa. Barbara Stanwyck puuhailee kaikkea rikollista, laulaa kabareeta, on kovaksikeitetty ja päätyy lumikkina professorien keskuuteen piilottelemaan poliisia. Lopun varmaan arvaattekin. Ai niin, ja eräs elokuvavuoteni maskoteista, Dana Andrews, pyörii mukana (vielä) siloposkisena gangsterina. Hawks tunnetusti kuvasi metodiaan pyrkimykseksi kolmeen hyv"

100 Greatest Golden Age Hollywood Films (100 movies items)

"The delightful screwball comedy 'Ball of Fire' was the final script written by Billy Wilder that he did not also direct. Wilder was about to embark on a directorial career that would see him become one of the greatest directors of all time but he'd already had a hand in writing dozens of screenplays for other directors, including Oscar-nominated scripts for 'Ninotchka' and 'Hold Back the Dawn'. 'Ball of Fire' landed Wilder the third of an astonishing twelve Oscar nominations for screenwriting bu"
