Synopsis: One of the later Spencer
Tracy-Katharine Hepburn bickering and flirting match ups. The
film pits "computer engineer" Richard Sumner (Tracy)
against TV-network research whiz Bunny Watson (Hepburn) over the
company trying to "computerize" the office by adding
a new-fangled computer in her department, threatening her and
her colleagues' livelihoods. Hepburn becomes Techno phobic and
fears for her job but the computer goes haywire and all takes
an abrupt turn. This is a great movie: It has a plot, it has humor,
romance, intelligence and wit.
