Now playing: 100% Fresh, Howard Hawks' Ball of Fire (Gary Cooper, Barbara Stanwyck). This one's a favorite right out of the gate

Cooper plays an English language specialist in a group of pedantic Encyclopedia writers who becomes inspired to investigate slang out in the streets with the people. So he goes to a jazz club where Stanwyck is singing a song (with a lot of slang lyrics) in front of Gene Krupa and his orchestra in a special appearance.

What a treat, I never even heard of this movie!
