The listing, VHS THE DESK SET. another magical Pairing of Hepburn & Tracy. Just Dee-lightful!! has ended.
VG CONDITION! CLEAN & SHINY
There are many cinematic moments I cherish, but one of my favorites has to be Katharine Hepburn murdering "Night and Day" to Spencer Tracy's bongo accompaniment in "Desk Set." The movie--about the love and war between computer expert Tracy and TV-network fact-checker Hepburn when she fears Tracy is trying to replace her department with a massive 1950s electronic brain--is the purest froth. But it never puts a foot wrong, and retains the same inspired level of delicate amusement throughout its running length--no easy achievement with farce. (The movie's "electronic brain" is in itself a hoot to behold for audiences in 2016!) I It's redundant by now to praise Tracy and Hepburn, the smoothest old pros in cinematic history; suffice it to say that the superb supporting cast--including Gig Young, Joan Blondell, Dina Merrill, and the nameless old lady who dithers wordlessly through the action--is a match for them. These two were in love for real--but Spencer Tracy's religion would not allow a divorce from his wife. Nonetheless, everybody knew about their life long affair, as did his poor wife! Love did not quite conquer all!
This is a wonderful example of the chemistry ( awesome) between the two. You have got to love this sparkling, refreshing movie--it never got old. Still adorable today!
VERY NICE condition for you.
