Connianatu How wonderful it is to see this fine actress carry a film and carry it so beautifully.

Doomtomylo a film so unique, intoxicating and bizarre that it not only demands another viewing, but is also forgivable as a satirical comedy where the jokes eventually take the back seat.

Robert Joyner The plot isn't so bad, but the pace of storytelling is too slow which makes people bored. Certain moments are so obvious and unnecessary for the main plot. I would've fast-forwarded those moments if it was an online streaming. The ending looks like implying a sequel, not sure if this movie will get one

Roy Hart If you're interested in the topic at hand, you should just watch it and judge yourself because the reviews have gone very biased by people that didn't even watch it and just hate (or love) the creator. I liked it, it was well written, narrated, and directed and it was about a topic that interests me.

bombersflyup Despite a compelling lead performance by Katharine Hepburn, Desk Set is only a very good film not a great one.Spencer Tracy was fine once again, though I don't think he fit the role of Richard that well, I can't see why he is considered a star in any way. The minor characters were pretty sub-par.I didn't really see Bunny's love interest for Richard, other than just being comfortable around him. Just because the other guy doesn't treat you right doesn't mean that he is right for you just because he treats you better.The best scenes include Richard quizzing Bunny on the rooftop and Mike interrupting Richard and Bunny at her home.

Edgar Allan Pooh . . . the Fox Company blows the lid off the coming crock-pot terrorist bombing of virtually every American job site by Venal Corporate Fat Cats laughing all the way to their banks. The handwriting's on the wall in this whistle-blowing 1957 cautionary tale, and it amounts to a Death Sentence for at least HALF of the U.S. Work Force. When Demonic Pre-Schoolers such as Scott Walker, Steve Bannon, Grover Norquist, Karl Rove, and Paul Ryan were shown this flick by their Devil Nannies, they all rubbed their throbbing "666" birthmarks in nefarious unison at the DESK SET's single mention of Union Protection, and these precocious Toddler Imps vowed to eradicate the one single hope of We Normal Honest Average Patriotic Working Blue Collar Loyal Americans once they grew up. Of course, there's NO mention of Mexico in DESK SET, because ALL of our stolen jobs ACTUALLY were swiped by the Job-Killing Corporate Suits' robots and automation. Red State schools "teach" nothing but Fake "Facts" and Lies, but Fox sets the record straight BEFORE THE FACT with DESK SET. Now that the Oligarchical Red Commie KGB has allowed U.S. Billionaires to steal what little power they previously lacked, DESK SET shows that all of us non-Billionaires are totally doomed!

Uriah43 "Bunny Watson" (Katharine Hepburn) is a supervisor for the Reference Section of a large television studio in New York City. She supervises three female employees and all of them are essentially required to have extremely good memories and knowledge of how to obtain data utilizing the least amount of time. Then one day a gentleman named "Richard Sumner" (Spencer Tracy) appears in their section and eventually announces that he is an efficiency expert hired by the boss in order to speed up data recovery. It is then discovered that he is the maker of a super computer and the speculation from other offices is that he is there to replace some—if not all—of the people in the Reference Section. However, Bunny Watson doesn't believe that any computer can replace them and isn't really too concerned. Not only that, but after investing seven years with her boyfriend named "Mike Cutler" (Gig Young) and with still no hint of marriage from him, she has other concerns on her mind. Little does she realize that her life is about to drastically change. Now rather than reveal any more of this movie I will just say that for the year it was produced (1957) the story itself seemed well ahead of its time. Yet even though the acting was pretty good I must confess that the comedy was rather mild and the overall movie seemed a bit dated. Even so, it was still somewhat entertaining and for that reason I have rated it as slightly above average.

SnoopyStyle Richard Sumner (Spencer Tracy) is the inventor of a computer called EMERAC. Federal Broadcasting Network ordered one for the reference department which is led by Bunny Watson (Katharine Hepburn).I'm sure that an audience of its times would work much better. They would automatically root for Spencer Tracy and Katharine Hepburn as a couple. That may account for the lack of setup for a romance. But that's not really a mortal wound for this movie. An eye flutter here, a knowing smile there, sometimes that's all the setup a movie requires. The mortal sin here is making Spencer Tracy a computer science expert, and that over the top idea of what a computer is or does. There is no role playing here. It's simply Spencer Tracy playing Spencer Tracy. None of the jokes worked that well. Katharine Hepburn does a good job as a librarian supercomputer. Overall a minor disappointment.
