BOLA DE FUEGO (HOWARD HAWKS, 1941) es una genialidad, una obra maestra de la SCREWBALL COMEDY en la que encontramos a un GARY COOPER en un inusual papel de erudito que trabaja, junto con siete colegas más, en la elaboración de una ENCICLOPEDIA. Al darse cuenta de que su aislamiento y su dedicación extrema les han privado de conocer mejor el lenguaje de la calle, el profesor BERTRAM POTTS decide investigar in situ las expresiones y la forma de hablar populares, encontrando en su camino a SUGARPUSS O´SHEA (BARBARA STANWICK, nominada al OSCAR por esta fabulosa interpretación), cantante de un club nocturno que consigue llamar la atención del buen profesor por sus variopintas explosiones lingüísticas y su irresistible atractivo. Pero ella es además la novia del peligroso gangster JOE LILAC (DANA ANDREWS), y este no está dispuesto a perder a la mujer que puede librarle de la cárcel. ¿Ganará el conocimiento? ¿Ganará el amor? ¿Ganará el mafioso? Descubre esta divertidísima película escrita por el inigualable BILLY WILDER. ^^^Link de YouTube en la bio^^^ #comedy #rko #barbara #balloffire #boladefuego #garycooper #barbarastanwick #billywilder #howardhawks #classic #cinematic #oscars #enciclopedia #teacher #newyork #newjersey #screwballcomedy #jerryleelewis #greatballsoffire #jerrylewis #enciclopedia #wisdom #professor #doctor #drumboogie #oscars #1941 #femmefatale #gangster #goldenageofhollywood https://www.instagram.com/p/CpVzSUSMEHu/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Surviving Holiday MayhemWith These Ladies of Screwball Comedy

Dan (Ralph Bellamy): “I certainly learned about women from you.”Aunt Patsy (Cecil Cunningham): “Here’s your diploma.” (As she hands him Lucy’s break-up letter) In The Awful Truth (1937), Ralph Bellamy as wealthy cowpoke Dan does indeed learn a great deal about the risks and foibles of falling for a glamorous socialite (Irene Dunne), still in love with her soon-to-be-ex husband (Cary Grant).

"The Man Who Came To Dinner" Good evening, folks. I got to take a needed respite this evening with my family... and Monty Wooley. :D Historically speaking, this movie is less than a year old, having been released on New Year's Day, 1942, not yet a month after Pearl Harbor. Eighty Years later, it remains a timeless and priceless classic of screwball comedy. Filled with undertones of an America gearing up for war, it centers on the prickly, capricious, and vitriolic Sheridan Whiteside (Wooley, in his fim debut), a world-renowned author and public speaker on a publicity tour during the Christmas season of. Traveling with him, and playing the perfect foil, is none other than Bette Davis. In Ohio, he slips and falls on the front steps of his sponsors' home; wheelchair bound with a broken hip, he forces them to allow him to stay. With the threat of a hefty lawsuit hanging over their heads, the household has no choice but to fold to his every whim as he upends everyone's lives, with side-splitting hilarity. Supporting - and colorful - characters played by a wide variety of actors round out the insanity. Please - take the time, kick back, and enjoy a true, hysterical classic.

Movie no. 40: trying to get through the films that I watched the past couple of days for #365classicmoviechallenge : the night before I watched the 1937 screwball comedy “Easy Living” starring Jean Arthur, Ray Milland, Edward Arnold, Mary Nash & Luis Alberni alongside a slew of popular character actors including Franklin Pangborn & William Demarest 😊 Jean Arthur’s career started in the silent era in the 20s but never really garnered success until she transitioned to the talkies her first big breakout hit was with William Powell in “The Canary Murder Case” In 1929 but her popularity would begin to rise when she joined Columbia in 1934 and before this film already hit films with The Ex-Mrs. Bradford (her 4th and final film with Powell) and her first big success in Mr. Deeds Goes to Town with Gary Cooper 😊 she would later go on to star in more successful films like You Can’t Take It With You, Mr. Smith Goes to Washington & Only Angels Have Wings 😊 This is one of Preston Sturges first big successes as a screenwriter in fact this was his first assignment when he signed to Paramount in 1936. When he wrote the script and brought it to a studio executive it was instantly rejected as the exec said that “1936 was not the time for comedies” after that he sent the script to director Mitchell Leisen and he said “going to a director over the head of my producer was not a sagacious move” 😂 Adolphe Menjou was supposed to Star in this film (in what I’m guessing is the J.B. Ball role) but had to back out due to illness All the jewels and fur that were used in this film were real and guards were posted during shooting to ensure that none of them disappeared The song of the same name became a popular jazz standard as years went on and was famously sung/performed by jazz artists such as Billie Holliday, Ella Fitzgerald, Peggy Lee, Miles Davis among others 😊 The film was an okay hit among critics and the box office but it has since become a screwball comedy classic and one of the first that helped define the genre 😊 #jeanarthur #raymilland #edwardarnold #easyliving #prestonsturges #screwballcomedy #classicmovienight #classicmovies #oldhollywood #classichollywood

Another movie day with the nieces. Bringing Up Baby was the 1st black and white movie for one of them. They laughed a lot at the silliness, were impressed that they used real leopards (not cgi), and called Cary Grant's Character David a symp. #niecesareprecious #movieday #classicfilms #screwballcomedy #blackandwhite #katherinehepburn #carygrant https://www.instagram.com/p/CAHdOfqDnNl/?igshid=odm0pp2dn54w
