Yes, I've seen Ball of Fire. It's a great film and earned Barbara one of 4 Oscar nominations (although she never won). Obviously she wasn't able to display her technique of "Yum Yum" on them to influence the decision. As for super legs, judging by those nudes she had a super figure all over!
And for an extra treat for you, I've come across a film of Joan Blondell that reveals far more than what was doubtless originally intended. It's an obscure film called Smarty (1934), and rather masochistic in it's theme of a flighty woman (Blondell) who divorces her husband (Warren William) and marries her divorce lawyer (Edward Everett Horton), while sexually teasing her ex and new hubby. The jist is that Joan wants to provoke a rise in her ex, who she considers weak, and wants him to assert himself with her and discipline her, including slapping her!
Somewhat dubious, but even more amazing is the revealing clothing and nip slips that seems to of passed the censors by! The two scenes bookend the film with the first, opening scene showing the couple dressing for dinner and William asking Joan to help him with his cufflinks (no, that isn't a youtherism). Joan is only dressed in a skimpy negligee and as her hubby passes by, her loose top falls open and you see not one boob but two within a few seconds! I have used slow mo for these scenes, as there is another moment while she is at the table with her loose fitting negligee. But the 2nd scene at the end of the film shows Joan Blondell undressing and her negligee is so transparent you can clearly see Joan Blondell's bottom! The video ends with her hubby showing the sort of assertive 'discipline' that Blondell's character asked of him, tearing off part of her dress and slapping her. Although it is somewhat startling, there is no doubt that Joan actually wants it. "Show me, dear," she tells him. Whatever your views on the film's message, you certainly get to see a lot more of Joan that I expected!
