A group of academics have spent years shut up in a house working on the definitive encyclopedia. When one of them discovers that his entry on slang is hopelessly outdated, he ventures into the wide world to learn about the evolving language. Here he meets Sugarpuss O’Shea, a nightclub singer, who’s on top of all the slang—and, it just so happens, needs a place to stay.
Editor's Verdict
"The movie 'Ball of Fire' is primarily a screwball comedy/romance focused on linguistics and crime evasion. While it was released during the holiday season (a common practice for major films), there is no evidence in the provided plot summary or genre information to suggest that the actual events of the narrative take place during Christmas or that the holiday impacts the plot, themes, or resolution significantly."
