"Mary?" he called as he grabbed the sides of the smooth white coffin and stared down at the girl he'd loved so much. "Mary?" he called as he ran across the room and past the people who were seated silently in the neat rows of bridge chairs which fanned out from the back wall. "Mary?" he called, as though by some miracle she might answer him. And then suddenly, without any warning, he was standing in the doorway leading to the big room with the carnations and the other flowers - and he saw her. The next few steps were the longest he'd ever taken in his life. He tried to say, "What are you sorry about? What's wrong with everybody, anyway?" But instead he took another deep breath and the heavy smell of carnations from another room, a room not too far away, nearly choked him and he walked past the girl without saying anything. Two girls were standing in the lobby, their eyes red, their hands clutching at their pocketbooks, as Hugh walked in. The others remained in the car while they watched him walk very slowly to the door of the funeral parlor, open it, stand rigid for a few moments and then go inside. Instead he stared out the window to his right, at a highly-polished plaque on which somebody had carefully and coldly chipped out the words: Undertaker: Day and Night Service. we're here." The tall, eighteen-year-old boy didn't move. "Hugh," his mother said, softly, as she took his arm. But he took a deep breath and clenched his fists and he had a hard time not shouting out, "There aren't going to be any tears or any breaking down, folks - because Mary isn't dead, Mary couldn't be dead, Mary couldn't really have died just like that and left me!" He knew that the others in the car were watching him out of the corners, of their eyes, to see if he'd begin to break down, begin to cry. Hugh O'Brian took a deep breath as the car pulled up to the little funeral parlor.

She also has really long hair, even when curled it reach quite a long way down her back. Later in the movie without bang, which I think is prettier. And watch this scene for several glimpses of different hair.īarbara Stanwyck has some really great shoes in this movie. I do think it looks a bit odd, as it starts so far back in the head, but I guess that is a matter of taste. You also get to watch Barbara Stanwyck’s faux bangs in all directions, which I think is nice. Lightweight? Yes, but also funny and very much enjoyable to watch. She strings him along as she needs to hide from the police, he falls for her. ![]() In his research he meets the gangster moll Sugar Puss (Barbara Stanwyck). Professor Potts (Gary Cooper) realizes that he has missed out on the recent slang. Gary Cooper in Ball of Fire plays his professor straight when Danny Kaye plays his for laughs, while Barbara Stanwyck is more playful than Virginia Mayo, but the plot is basically the same. A Song Is Born is in colour and the professors are working on a musical encyclopedia, not an encyclopedia. It’s a bit funny, in my view, to do a re-make just a few years after the original movie and they are really quite similar. I only recently realized that one of my childhood favourites, A Song Is Born, is a remake and the original movie was made in 1941 and was called Ball of Fire. ![]()
