About Desk Set
This classic romantic comedy stars Spencer Tracy as Richard Sumner, a computer expert, and Katherine Hepburn as Bunny Watson, the head of the research department of a TV station. When Sumner arrives to observe the department with the aim of introducing two computers into the office, the staff believes it is being replaced, and a battle of wits between Richard and Bunny ensues. Beyond its cinematic value, the film also displays a historical perspective on computerization in the workplace. (2K DCP presentation)
