The main attraction of this film is the great chemistry between Tracy and Hepburn, who were lovers for 25 years. Their ease of interaction, body language that magnifies their duels of wit, and the charm they bring out in each other is unlike any other film pairing I can remember. The scene in Hepburn's apartment, where they're trying to dry out from a rainstorm and are interrupted by some co-workers, was comedically brilliant and had me in stitches.
Another pleasure of watching this movie is settling into a frame of mind required for a movie made for 1950's Americans. There's a lot of witty, sly, gentle humor that would either puzzle or bore most of today's moviegoing public. There are a lot of deliberately slow-paced talky spots, specifically to build characters' rapport, provide background, or build up the comedic tension. Once you stop expecting modern movie techniques and pacing for these devices, these elements are delightful. -

MCT:April 4, 2007the best of the tracy-hepburn movies with a wonderful supporting cast. Did Joan Blondell ever give a bad performance?

Made 50 years ago, Desk Set still holds as one of the best comedy/romantic comedy films ever. Tracy and Hepburn are the best. I never pass this one up when it is on tv. I'm not sure what the major appeal of the flick is, but I f*cking love the idea of where they work. In the research department of a company! Now, we have endless info at every desk, but back then you had to call your research dept. and wait til they found the answer for you. I'm such a library nerd, but I love the idea of that. That is a career I could get behind!! Spruce bug worm research rocks!!

I wonder if office Christmas parties were really as wonderful as they seemed to be in old movies.
I'd like to think so. -

If You haven't seen every hepburn, then you are missing out. I love it when she is "drunk" and talking to spencer on a "ship"

One of the best Hepburn and Tracy comedies out there. This one makes me smile quite a lot. If you can hunt up a copy of this one, I highly recommend it.
