Desk Set Summary Bunny Watson (katharine Hepburn) Heads Up The Research Department At The Federal Broadcasting Company, A Major Tv Network. And She Does Her Job Very Well, Thank You Very Much. Assigned By The Network President To Introduce Computers Into Some Of The Department?s Functions, Richard Sumner (spencer Tracy) Arrives At Bunny?s Well-run Division To Observe Daily Activities. Unfortunately, However, Sumner Is Ordered To Keep His Mission Secret. As A Result, The Whole Staff Believes They Are Being Replaced. To Make Matters Worse, There Appears To Be More Than A Little Electricity Between Bunny And Sumner, Which Upsets Bunny?s Boyfriend Mike (gig Young). As The Tension Mounts In The Office, So Do The Laughs In This Classic Romantic Comedy.

One of the later Spencer Tracy-Katharine Hepburn matchups, this time pitting efficiency expert--sorry, that's "methods engineer"--Richard Sumner (Tracy) against TV-network research whiz Bunny Watson (Hepburn) over adding a new-fangled computer--again, sorry, that's "electronic brain"--to her department, thereby threatening her and her colleagues' livelihoods. Gig Young appears as Bunny's beau, an ambitious network executive who strings her along and becomes apoplectic at the idea that she doesn't need him. But as always, it's Hepburn and Tracy's bickering-flirting that makes this such a winning enterprise--a lunch date that turns into an interrogation and their sly repartee during a Christmas party are a couple of the movie's hilarious highlights. Interestingly, what starts out as something of a technophobic exercise--Hepburn fears for her job, and a computer goes haywire--takes an abrupt turn (perhaps the IBM product placement had something to do with that). Briskly scripted by Henry and Phoebe Ephron (Nora and Delia's parents) from a play by William Marchant. --David Kronke
