In this remake of "Ball of Fire," musicologist Professor Hobart Frisbee (Danny Kaye) heads a team of professors studying the history of jazz. While they do research, gangster Tony Crow's (Steve Cochran) moll, Honey Swanson (Virginia Mayo), decides that the house where the team of professors are living would make a great place to hide while police search for her to testify at Tony's trial. Honey introduces the professors to popular music, and a good time is had by all–until Tony spoils the party. Lots of Big Band greats are featured and certainly add to the entertainment value of this film. 1 User Review
