Desk Set, 1957



 

 

 

Another Tracy/Hepburn teaming for this very funny and enjoyable comedy. The mysterious man hanging about at the research department of a big TV network proves to be engineer Richard Sumner, who's been ordered to keep his real purpose secret: computerizing the office. Bunny Watson, played by Hepburn is the head of the department along with a team of women, including Joan, who are walking encyclopedia's and are very afraid that the computer proposed for their department will replace them. The film revolves around this as well as the budding romance between Tracey and Hepburn, which is faithfully supported by Joan.
