Film Friday

Ball of Fire 1941




This screwball comedy showcases Barbara Stanwyck's quick wit and sharp tongue. She plays Sugarpuss O'Shea, a nightclub performer who catches the mind of naive linguistics professor while he's researching slang terms. 



I love old fashioned slang and this movie is full of it! I don't know how much of it was really used back then but whatever Sugarpuss slings is believable..Scrim! Scram! Scraw!



   Happy Friday!
