Desk Set (1957)
Bunny Watson (Katharine Hepburn) heads up the research department at the Federal Broadcasting Company, a major TV network. 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. As tension in the office mounts, so do the laughs in this classic romantic comedy.

Absolutely superb, quick and funny film. Katherine Hepburn and Spencer Tracy are just fantastic, and the story is well written. Old classics like this one just aren't replicated these days... What a shame...

Old movie but quite funny. How the many can jump to conclusions when the truth isn't known.
Tracy and Hepburn are absolute classics together, and it makes the movie.
Well worth watching this timeless classic, takes you back to when computers first made their mark, and the days of Key to Tape and Punchcards. My how we have advanced since those monstrosities.
