Movie Reviews of Ball of Fire
Movie Review: A Stanwyck Hit
Summary: 3 Stars
Very cute movie; a bit unrealistic, but cute. Barbara Stanwyck's comedic talents are superb. However, I do think Gary Cooper was miscast as a brilliant professor. His acting is stilted and vocabulary way beyond what is expected from a sheriff protecting his town in High Noon. The rest of the cast is hilarious and lovable. This movie is worth a watch and a chuckle.Movie Review: Nice Try, But No Cigar
Summary: 2 Stars
BALL OF FIRE---(1941)---Barbara Stanwyck, Gary Cooper, Dan Duryea, Dana Andrews, S. Z. Sakall, Oscar Homolka, Richard Haydn, Henry Travers.
A variation on the, "Snow White And The Seven Dwarfs(Dwarves--SP.?)" fairy-tale. As much as I love Barbara Stanwyck, this film just didn't age very well given its preoccupation with outdated American slang and the barely credible(even for the movies) "love-story" between Stanwyck and Cooper. Duryea and Andrews, who are both good actors, just don't "cut it" in their roles.
Movie Review: Overpriced for a bare-bones DVD
Summary: 2 Stars
Terrific film, but a $20 retail price for a DVD with absolutely no extra features? What is MGM thinking? No, thanks. This film deserves better.
