Do you like the 1940's ball of fire?

I'm not keen on either film, which is maybe while I've never been able, in one sitting, get through either, though I've seen lengthy stretches of it and the other one, A Song Is Born. The premise of these films might have been hip in their day. I simply cannot truly enjoy them.

Two other films with Cooper from the same year (1941) of Ball Of Fire, Meet John Doe and Sergeant York, work better for me. Neither is a comedy or a musical, and both are quite serious, yet I like both at their core, appreciate what they're trying to do, to get across, to the Average American in 1941.
