Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_content_3'); })Ball of Fire is a 1941 American screwball comedy starring Gary Cooper and Barbara Stanwyck, and was written by Billy Wilder, directed by Howard Hawks with a score by Alfred Newman. It was nominated for three Academy Awards, including Best Actress and Best Story, and was then remade into a musical movie in 1948 called A Song Is Born.Loosely based on Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs, nightclub performer Katherine "Sugarpuss" O'Shea (Stanwyck) decides to hide in a communal library with a group of professors in order to escape being caught by the police, due to her fiance Joe Lilac's (Dana Andrews) mobster activities.There, she meets the tall, sheltered and conservative English professor Bertram Potts (Cooper), who is determined to understand the ever-changing colloquialisms of the socialites of today in order to put it inside an encyclopedia with his other colleagues' work from all sides of the curriculum. With the help of other members of the public he's rounded up, including the garbage disposal man that visits the mansion every day, Potts invites Sugarpuss to work alongside them, remembering one of her nightclub performances that he attended for research.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_content_2'); })However, with her fiance's patience wearing thin and wanting to elope as soon as possible, Sugarpuss tries everything she can to stop tension in the professors' home and successfully distracts them from her true intentions, but her friendliness soon backfires when Bertram confesses he has a crush on her and pops out an engagement ring.Hilarity Ensues. | |

Adorkable: Bertram. He acts like learning new slang is Serious Business, talks with Sesquipedalian Loquaciousness a lot (even about his feelings towards Sugar), admits how aroused he is by Sugarpuss by having to wash his neck with cold water whenever he sees the sunlight in her hair, not to mention running out of the room after being kissed by her to do the latter, too. He also seems to be so devoted to his work (or just struggles to put on a suit), Sugarpuss notes that he always has his waistcoat buttoned up wrong every time she's seen him.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_content_1'); }) | |
