Desk Set (1957)
They’re at it again! In their eighth screen pairing, real-life sweethearts Katharine Hepburn and Spencer Tracy team up in a fast-paced battle of the sexes comedy. As usual, they both have forceful personalities, and as usual, they bicker and try to prove their points for an hour or two while falling in love.
In Desk Set, their workplace is dominated by the introduction of computer technology. There’s a hilarious line in the film Blast from the Past in which Brendan Fraser asks incredulously, “You have a computer? In your house?” In the 1950s, computers were new, humongous, and scary, so you’re going to have to wrap your head around that nostalgic trivia before settling down to watch this flick. While lots of Tracy-Hepburn movies are still applicable today, this isn’t really one of them. If you love their pairings, feel free to add this one to your list, but it’s not really their best. It’s a little more dated than Woman of the Year and isn’t as endearing as Adam’s Rib, so you might be better off sticking to your favorites.
