Sunday, November 3 - Ball of Fire

Ball of Fire (1941)

A group of eight professors are writing an encyclopedia. The naive professor of English Bertram Potts concludes that he needs field research to update the slang in his article and he goes to the streets and to a night-club. He meets the sexy singer Sugarpuss O'Shea, who is the mistress of the mobster Joe Lilac, and invites her to participate of the meetings of his research in the foundation that is promoting the encyclopedia. When she learns that the police have arrested Joe Lilac and are chasing her to testify against him, she decides to meet Prof. Potts and stay in the foundation. She becomes the pride and joy of the seven old man and Prof. Potts falls for her and proposes to marry her. Meanwhile Joe Lilac decides to get married to Sugarpuss to avoid her testimony in the court.
