"Ball of Fire" is one of my most favorite Stanwyck films...and one of the few B/W films I could see in color, if only to see that dress in full color! My one complaint...are they really trying to convince me that Gary Cooper is a nerd? That's like trying to convince me that Charlton Heston is a Mexican. :)
What a pair. Krup played drums like no one else did or ever has and Stanwyck was the ballsiest woman on the screen Thanks for posting, this was a real treat.
just saw this flick a few weeks ago. stanwyck thy name is sexy...one classy talented dame. none of the ladies today can hold a candle to her. great moves! all her work is pretty amazing but stella dallas and double indeminty are my personal favs.
Crgaillee, I have to agree if this was really Stanwick's voice she would have been just an amazing singer, and with those set of legs. But lets just have fun watching her, Gary Cooper, and listening to the man, Geno on those skins.
wow, I have never noticed Barbara doing stuff like this. And ya, she is my favorite actress too. I too think Lady eve is one of the funnist movies I have ever seen. Thyanks so much cbrace for putting this up.
Barbara Stanwyck is MY FAVORITE ACTRESS. I <3 her so much! However, this is in fact dubbed. Her own voice can be heard in "Lady of Burlesque," "Banjo on My Knee," and "The Purchase Price." Her singing voice was much deeper than this, and she was no slouch at singing; however, according to the book "Starring Miss Barbara Stanwyck" the powers that be decided to dub her singing for this film.
@cbrace I hope so. :) I adore this woman so much you don't even know. I've done so much research on her. LOL. Videos of all of her singing in her movies are available here on YouTube, fortunately for us!
@TheLadyEveSidwich No knock on Martha Tilton, but Babs could have done this all by herself. Yes, the "powers that be," but Sam Goldwyn gets a break because his films were so good. Even if he should have just let Babs sing.
@cbrace And Tilton is copying, note for note, the great Anita O'Day's original interpretation, and if you see the music short featuring O'Day, you'll see Anita is the far superior boogie dancer, too.
This..has to be my all time fav's i also have read it was Martha
but you know what he is Right never sell Barbara short she is the best .....The Great Barbara Standwyck....... Krupa is my Hero..... I wish we had bands like this Today..The Music is so hot ....wow it's Killer Diller..
Barbara Stanwyck's part as Sugarpuss O'Shea was originally offered to Ginger Rogers, who turned it down. It was then given to Lucille Ball, but Samuel Goldwyn put Stanwyck in the part at the last minute. Both Rogers and Ball whould have been great, giving the part their own personal spin, but Stanwyck is the one we'll remember. BOOGIE!

@somewhere6 excellent observation. Roy Eldridge was the Number 1 trumpeter of his day. He was THE inspiration to the young Dizzy Gillespie. He had led a great band with his alto sax brother, but band finances caused him to break up the band. He joined Krupa as star soloist, but the racial segregation of the time caused issues many places the band played, including Hollywood. Krupa to his credit stood by Roy 100%. Roy was a trailblazer long before anyone heard of Jackie Robinson or ML King.
Easily one of the four or five best musical numbers from a 1940s movie. Martha Tilton never sounded so sexy as when her song came out of Stanwyck. It's hard to think of another film about American Slang that is as funny or sexy as "Ball of Fire" was. Killer Diller shove in the clutch.
Doesn't get any better than this~! this beautiful hot 'Dame' -(of a long ago beloved past-as many may remember as 'the best of all the best times'-) blows doors off Marylin Monrow~! and someone please tell me where I can get that golden dress~!
Oh this movie is sublime. I take back everything I ever said about Gary Cooper (like, he's a piece of wood as an actor). He really showed he had the chops. As for Barbara S., she was the best of 40's movie-making.
@cbrace ~ That's like quoting Wikipedia. Barbara Stanwyck was sometimes dubbed, but this is HER singing, just as she did her own singing in "Lady of Burlesque".
@grabit1 just compare the voice from this video to ones where Barbara is really singing - either "The G-String Song", or "Where The Lazy River Goes By" with Tony Martin. they sound quite different:-)
@cbrace What makes it obvious that it is a "voice over" is that there is no microphone for the singer - nor for the orch. for that matter. No boom mikes are seen as the camera zooms out as she steps off the stage and heads for the audience. You are correct! Tnx for a super video!
@kogrone Of COURSE this isn't Stanwyck's voice - only an idiot would think otherwise. Aside from the fact that she couldn't sing (listen to how flat and course her voice is in "Burlesque"), it doesn't even sound remotely LIKE her. Even a KID would notice the difference. Rididulous. Stawncyk was a great, great actress. She simply couldn't sing. Big deal.
now doubt Ms. Stanwyck was hot but Theres alway been top Kitty hot women in movies. I just happen to love the hairstyles woman wore during this time period. Long with curls at the ends and sexy a-- bangs, yubba dubba ! Floats my boat !
Thanks gents! I couldnt really tell. Say,does anyone have a clip of the dueling drummers? That is Buddy Rich vs Johnny Carson? I remember seeing that growing up, and can't seem to locate a copy. It be greatly appreciated if anyone has it, and can share it!
ah gene krupa rocks.....he sure is insane tho, insane with talent and just generally insane. they would of been top shit back then but the snare drums his using would of been annoying to play with, i'm in a band and the kit i use at my friends house for rehearsing has a snare like that,,,,,,,its got to be the worst snare i have ever played with and hopefully ever will play with
What a time; people dressed up, they had class, the smoked and drank and nobody looked funny at them for it. I don't know who the great lady vocalist is, but her legs win me over.
I'm a big fan of Martha Tilton. Didn't know she did the singing in this scene, but it shows how good she was coz she makes her voice sound like Barbara Stanwyck's. Sometimes you hear a singer dubbing for a non-singing actress and it don't sound anything like the actress she's dubbing for and the effect is ridiculous. Here, you might think it's really Stanwyck singing.
I watched this clip the first time and was rivited! This is a real gem of a clip, you have to watch again and again (as I did) - it addictive! I have always seen her in film noirs or very melodramatics parts.
Glad to see this...wonderful number from one of my all time favorite movies! Stanwyk and Krupa still got it going on over todays hep cats, and The Coop is no slouch either!
Then your mother was wrong. The myth about Krupa being a junkie came about because he was one of the first celebrities to be busted for marijuana and he had a very exuberant manner when he played so people assumed he was high. Truth is that Krupa never had a drug addiction. To quote Teddy Wilson, "People have often asked me whether Krupa was an addict, and I always say no, because he wasn't." Too bad Krupa still has this falsehood hanging over him over 30 years after his death.
Did you know him? Actually the first celebrity to be busted for pot was Robert Mitchum! My mother grew up and worked in Greenwich Village in the 30's and and early 40's and did know alot more that we know..I always trusted her. It's no big deal..
No, I didn't know him but read books about him and by people who worked with him such as Teddy Wilson, Anita O'Day & Pee Wee Erwin. Maybe your mom had inside info, but several colleagues make a point of saying he wasn't a junkie. I have no reason to dispute their assertions. BTW, I said ONE of the first to be busted not the first. Some quick research shows that Krupa was busted in 1943 and Mitchum in 1948. I've found no reliable sources that state he was a junkie and many that dispute it.
It's OK, no big deal, I am just going by word-of-mouth. There are always alot of ugly rumors and facts about jazz musicians, I imagine that's why it's still not that popular..He does remind me alot of the psycho piano player in Reefer Madness!!!
LOL at the "Reefer Madness" reference. And I gotta agree with you there. He does have some pretty wild mannerisms and facial expressions. I also agree that this clip is great fun. The movie was on TCM fairly recently and it was very funny. Stanwyck is terrific in it. Cheers.
Thanks for the clip, I've been a Barbara Stanwyck fan since way back, although not as far back as 1941. :::wink::: She was talented and great looking.
Stanwyck had a truly great career, and people raved about working with her; a real professional. You might check out "Thornbirds" if you haven't already seen it.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
this is for phi1618033, that is the way it was for black drummers in the 30s and 40s, most of them could out play krupa but they were shunted to the shadows and usually never got a chance!
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
when did you last have your ears blown out, did you not ever listen to sid catlett, joe jones or chick webb, krupa couldn;t even carry their sticks. ask any drummer!
sorry to burst your bubble but reliable reports i have read state otherwise.studio heads hushed these scandals up but she was intimatly involved with other actresses including claudette colbert who was also a lady lover. in to-days hollywood, nobody cares.
dispite the fact that some think she was a lesbian, she was in fact not.She was close friends with MArlene Dietrich, and Joan Crawford,but not intimate....lol lol
I loved this movie as a kid. I guess you could say I grew up in the wrong era. I love the 20's, 30's, and 40's! If you have never seen this movie, you must! It's a great love story too. Gene Krupa is so sexy, to bad the coke killed him.
Barbara Stanwyck was a professional dancer before she became a star in films. She danced most nights during WWII at the Hollywood Canteen. AND IT SHOWS. She is hot.

The myth about Krupa being a junkie came about because he was one of the first celebrities to be busted for marijuana and he had a very exuberant manner when he played so people assumed he was high. Truth is that Krupa never had a drug addiction. To quote Teddy Wilson, "People have often asked me whether Krupa was an addict, and I always say no, because he wasn't." Too bad Krupa still has this falsehood hanging over him over 30 years after his death.

Did you know him? Actually the first celebrity to be busted for pot was Robert Mitchum! My mother grew up and worked in Greenwich Village in the 30's and and early 40's and did know alot more that we know..I always trusted her. It's no big deal..

No, I didn't know him but read books about him and by people who worked with him such as Teddy Wilson, Anita O'Day & Pee Wee Erwin. Maybe your mom had inside info, but several colleagues make a point of saying he wasn't a junkie. I have no reason to dispute their assertions. BTW, I said ONE of the first to be busted not the first. Some quick research shows that Krupa was busted in 1943 and Mitchum in 1948. I've found no reliable sources that state he was a junkie and many that dispute it.

It's OK, no big deal, I am just going by word-of-mouth. There are always alot of ugly rumors and facts about jazz musicians, I imagine that's why it's still not that popular..He does remind me alot of the psycho piano player in Reefer Madness!!!

LOL at the "Reefer Madness" reference. And I gotta agree with you there. He does have some pretty wild mannerisms and facial expressions. I also agree that this clip is great fun. The movie was on TCM fairly recently and it was very funny. Stanwyck is terrific in it. Cheers.

This is my favorite Barbara Stanwyck movie, aside from Double Indemnity. Too bad movies nowadays are nowhere near as classy.

The song, the band, Barbara Stanwyck, the fantastic nightclub set, the sharp b&w photography - it's the best scene in the whole move.

Thanks for the clip, I've been a Barbara Stanwyck fan since way back, although not as far back as 1941. :::wink::: She was talented and great looking.

Stanwyck had a truly great career, and people raved about working with her; a real professional. You might check out "Thornbirds" if you haven't already seen it.

this is for phi1618033, that is the way it was for black drummers in the 30s and 40s, most of them could out play krupa but they were shunted to the shadows and usually never got a chance!

when did you last have your ears blown out, did you not ever listen to sid catlett, joe jones or chick webb, krupa couldn;t even carry their sticks. ask any drummer!
sailin1934 3 years ago
I love how the one black trumpet player is in shadow when he does his solo. A black musician in a white band? Why I never! Freaking 1940's.

sorry to burst your bubble but reliable reports i have read state otherwise.studio heads hushed these scandals up but she was intimatly involved with other actresses including claudette colbert who was also a lady lover. in to-days hollywood, nobody cares.

I loved this movie as a kid. I guess you could say I grew up in the wrong era. I love the 20's, 30's, and 40's! If you have never seen this movie, you must! It's a great love story too. Gene Krupa is so sexy, to bad the coke killed him.

Barbara Stanwyck was a professional dancer before she became a star in films. She danced most nights during WWII at the Hollywood Canteen. AND IT SHOWS. She is hot.

This is nostalgia at it's best. I am there right now, 1941 during WW2, and the country needs to be pulled together, and songs like this did it.
