Directed by Walter LangMy rating: 3 stars out of 4
IMDb
(DVD, 20th Century Fox)
Spencer Tracy goes undercover in a television reference department in order to install an "electronic brain" to replace it. Along the way, he tangles with office head Katharine Hepburn. A Tracy-Hepburn vehicle is never boring, and the usual sparks fly as they reluctantly fall in love. The film also has some interesting insights to the modern dilemma of computers vs people, probably even more of a problem today than when this film was made. At one point a computer mistakenly fires everyone in the building, and Hepburn asks "are they going to replace the mail man with an electronic brain too?"!
