Desk Set (1957)

7/1/2012

 
Picture

Spencer Tracy and Katherine Hepburn were one of the great screen couples in Hollywood history. Longtime lovers in real life, they made nine films together over a 25 year span, starting with Woman of the Year (1942) and ending with Tracy's last film, Guess Who's Coming to Dinner (1967). Desk Set, their eighth film together and the first in color, may not be their funniest, but it does make for a very pleasant night at the movies.

Picture
Adapted from William Merchant's stage play by Phoebe and Henry Ephron (parents of writer/director Nora), Desk Set is most memorable as a clever 1950s era workplace comedy. I find its setting particularly charming: the research archives of a TV network, run with a loving hand by brainy Bunny Watson (Hepburn). One day, affable engineer Richard Sumner (Tracy) begins poking around the department, measuring between the walls and generally reviewing the efficiency of the work done by Bunny and her three assistants: best pal Peg (Joan Blondell), glamorous Sylvia (Dina Merrill) and bright rookie Ruthie (Sue Randall).

Sumner is the designer of an early "super computer" called EMARAC (Electromagnetic Memory And Research Arithmetical Calculator) which the company plans to install in the department. The women become increasingly concerned that Sumner's machine will put them out of business, displacing their hard-earned expertise and customer service skills with cold, ruthlessly efficient circuits.

Despite this, they can't help warming to Sumner, especially Bunny, who appreciates the kind of attention she rarely gets from her long-time boyfriend Mike Cutler (Gig Young), an ambitious executive upstairs who takes Bunny's affections for granted. Mike catches on to the budding romance between Bunny and Richard before they do. But will the arrival of EMARAC render the Research Department staff obsolete, as the ladies fear? And if so, can Bunny forgive Sumner for letting this happen?

Desk Set is a breezy, relaxed comedy. No frenetic pratfalls here, just a bunch of good actors playing likeable characters in a easygoing story. The romance between Tracy and Hepburn is a slow burner, but we buy it because the pair work so well together. Tracy is just so solid and natural onscreen. What he does he makes look completely effortless. He's not handsome, he's a bit old and doughy, dressed in a fairly nondescript suit through most of the film, yet he totally commands the screen whenever he's appears. It's a completely different sort of charisma than most other "manly" screen icons, like Clark Gable, John Wayne, Clint Eastwood or Humphrey Bogart. It's a quieter sort of presence, but just as powerful, and accompanied by his consistently wry sense of humor.

Picture
Hepburn, of course, is a powerhouse of a different sort. She's an actress who flourishes when playing intelligently-written parts and she's got a good one here. There's a wonderful extended scene between her and Tracy, when they have lunch on the rooftop, he quizzes her memory skills, and she blows him away with the speed and accuracy of her complex weave of mental associations. Hepburn possessed a particularly glorious, megawatt smile that transformed her bony, patrician features into a look of warmth and true beauty. She also is a proven master of fast, hyperactive dialogue, and gets some great stuff to do here. She and Tracy by this time in their careers fit comfortably together like the proverbial pair of old slippers; she's the busy, dazzling, dramatic yin to his craggy, unruffled yang.

Joan Blondell is good value as no-nonsense friend Peg, and perpetual also-ran Gig Young plays a slightly more caddish beau here than he did in Teacher's Pet and The Tunnel of Love (both 1958). It's hard to imagine the debonair Young as the dissipated murderer he would eventually become. Harry Ellerbe reprises his stage role of nosy Smithers from Accounting, and gets some memorable reaction shots. It's nice to see Dina Merrill here, an attractive screen presence who knew her way around a barbed one-liner; she also stars in one of my favorite 50s comedies, 1959's Operation Petticoat. 50s and 60s TV standby Sue Randall has less to work with but is nevertheless entertaining as the wide-eyed junior member of the team.

The supporting cast is all fine, no grandstanding performances allowed here - this isn't the type of laugh-out-loud comedy that requires a lot of heavy-handed face pulling or other kinds of schtick. Everyone seems to fit naturally into this very 50s office workplace environment. The extended Christmas party scene is a highlight, as we see the staff really let their hair down and guzzle a shocking amount of alcohol on company premises, something that would never pass in today's corporate culture.

And we mustn't forget EMARAC, another one of those improbably huge early computers (the movie opens with a "special thanks to IBM" credit) that must have seemed ultra-futuristic to moviegoers back then, but which looks quaint and clunky to modern eyes. This gentle swipe at the mechanization of the modern workforce adds a little thematic weight to the proceedings, and the bulky design of the super computer adds a nice visual touch in the final moments of the film.

The movie has always suffered in past TV airings, as it's CinemaScope frame was heedlessly butchered and hacked into the full frame 4:3 ratio, losing director Walter Lang's careful-designed widescreen compositions and split-screen effects.
I remember watching it as a kid and sometimes wondering what was going on, so bad was the image cropped. This film and The Man from Laramie are two prime examples from my early movie watching days where, long before I had any knowledge of aspect ratios and directorial intent, I just knew something was very, very wrong with what was being broadcast. Most prints local TV stations aired of 2:35:1 films weren't even panned and scanned; they were just cropped down the middle, so, in the case of Laramie, I'd see Jimmy Stewart's nose on one side of the screen and Arthur Kennedy's on the other (and sometimes, as a sort of compensation, pretty Cathy O'Connell's face in the middle.) That's one of the greatest boons of the DVD and Blu-Ray era: simply being able to watch so many of these great widescreen films the way they were meant to be seen.

Desk Set is the sort of classy Hollywood romantic comedy that is miles more enjoyable and witty than what passes for such fare nowadays. A large part of its appeal is a cast of seasoned pros, of course, but what really marks the difference is the scripting. Desk Set might not seem to have much of a plot on the surface, but the unhurried nature of the story allows it to unfold naturally out of events and personalities, rather than the rigidly-imposed generic structures that shackle most offerings today. And there's just something ineffably appealing about the bright, Technicolor world presented in these 50s comedies, with their fascination with "futuristic" design and burgeoning technology, and their optimistic outlook on the future. It's the sort of film to curl up with on the sofa when you're feeling a little bit under the weather, and let its cheery banter wrap around you like a warm blanket.

DVD Note: Fox's Studio Classics DVD offers a solid, correctly-framed (hooray!) presentation, which looks nice enough but would certainly benefit from a spruced-up Blu-Ray release. Since this is stingy Fox we're talking about, the chances of this happening are slim.

"Spencer Tracy and Katherine Hepburn were one of the great screen couples in Hollywood history."

Hmm...I wonder if that's true; perhaps if one grades on a curve, or if one considers the current crop....then again, I'm not sure there's much competition in divorce-ville. :) It's a little like saying, "Paul Robeson was one of the greatest African American actors in the Hollywood of the 1930's", hehehe

Good review of a fun movie! I remember seeing it on Teevee twenty-or-so years ago, immediately after a showing of IN A LONELY PLACE...what a contrast that was! It turned out to be a good two-fer on a Saturday afternoon!

"Hmm...I wonder if that's true; perhaps if one grades on a curve, or if one considers the current crop....then again, I'm not sure there's much competition in divorce-ville. :)"

When talking about romantic screen partnerships, I definitely think it's true that Tracy and Hepburn were one of the greats, along with Bogie and Bacall, Flynn and de Havilland, etc.

When it comes to just plain screen partners, then the competition gets fierce: Laurel and Hardy, Abbott and Costello, Hope and Crosby, and on and on.

That would have been a really interesting 50s double bill, the dark, neurotic drama of IN A LONELY PLACE, followed by the light-hearted candy confection of DESK SET.

Fun stuff - thanks, Clayton!

True, perhaps, but is the matchup of a copulating pair news? "One of the greats" implies that it's a relevant item, being one of the "only". 'One of the great' implies that there are other great ones, and that there are tons of lesser ones, and that it's a fact that a couple has something special to add that a non-couple don't. This could only be considered extraordinary, or even worth mentioning, in a discussion about romantically corrupt Hollywood.

...and is Flynn and de Havilland a great partnership? I think Flynn and anyone is great; those two together don't seem any more extraordinary than any other actor paired with any other actress. Of course Bogart and Bacall are a great matchup, as they are ugly in the same way, and somehow their repugnance combined makes a sort of intriguing beauty. :)

For the most part 1950s American comedies had already lost the momentum of the 1930s but were clearly running on fumes and out of steam. Had this been made in the 30s it would have been forgotten when compared to the other laugh-out-loud comedies then being made, but released when it was (when the only truly funny American comedy was 1959s "Some Like it Hot") it has some profile.

Jeff
7/1/2012 10:15:41 pm

Good point, Henry! I think we can agree that generally movie comedies were at their funniest in the screwball era of the 30s, though I find a lot of 60s era comedies very funny. Then again, I'm partial to the 50s and especially 60s for the overall "vibe" one gets in movies from that time period, so i might very well be biased.

At any rate, I doubt any case could be made for DESK SET being a particular funny film, even measured against Tracy and Hepburn's earlier output. It IS a fun one, though.

Colin link
7/1/2012 05:33:05 am

That's very nicely done Jeff. DESK SET isn't one of the best Tracy/Hepburn movies nor is it my favourite, but it does have a warmth and charm that makes it very attractive. Personally, I agree that those two were one of the best and most memorable romantic pairs on the screen. I guess there isn't a huge number of others but that in itself kind of proves that the kind of on screen chemistry Tracy and Hepburn had is a special commodity. BTW, I'm also with you in counting Flynn and De Havilland; they did go well together, better than either one of them did with any other co-stars - their last scene together in THEY DIED WITH THEIR BOOTS ON is very piognant.

On Tracy's screen presence, he grew in stature in his middle years, and became a kind of representation of all the best of American values. His work from the mid-40s on is very interesting.

Hey, Colin & Jeff!

Not to be controversial, but this thing about romantic pairings has been itchy with me for quite a while now; other than the obvious Bogart and Bacall(that is the ultimate in this sense, IMO...they are a bit more when paired together than otherwise), I don't see these other pairings being up to non-romantic pairings...it seems a bit odd to build them up simply because they are romantic.

John Wayne and Dean Martin, Wayne and Kirk Douglas, Clint Eastwood and Lee Van Cleef, Abbott and Costello, Hope and Crosby...I don't see the romantic pairings in general as being all that worthy of remark as compared to just a few non-romantic ones. Is there, excluding the obvious magic of Bogart and Bacall, one film that equals the spark of RIO BRAVO, THE WAR WAGON, FISTFUL OF DOLLARS(got westerns on the brain tonite), or THE ROAD TO BALI? In retrospect, I don't think that there is a Bogart/Bacall movie that matches Bogart and Bergman in their one film together...

I'm not sure there is, and I'm not certain that quantity or off-screen life should count as far as establishing greatness. The category seems a bit random; such as "the greatest films with small dogs in them", or "the best films with a black guy and a white guy". Sure, it makes funny film-buff chat fodder, but is it news?

Heh...this is one of my fave pet peeves, so pardon the discussion! I've just never seen a fun opportunity to bring it up! :)

Jeff
7/1/2012 09:57:12 pm

Hey Clayton,

Obviously you have a bee in your bonnet about this topic, which is fair enough. Just to make a few points:

First off, the post is about a movie in the romantic comedy genre...I don't think it's a stretch to mention the special chemistry between a pair of romantic leads in this context. Also, when said pair have starred together in 9 films, all of them good and several quite memorable, I personally think that's something worth noting. It might not be "news," Vincenzo, but then this isn't a "newspaper." ;)

Tracy and Hepburn worked well opposite other lead actors, but I feel they had a special spark when put together. Another example I forgot to mention before is William Powell and Myrna Loy. They starred together to great effect in even more films (at least 10) and they weren't involved offscreen. Sure, they were just fine paired with other actors, but when they starred opposite each other -- bam! Off the charts chemistry. This is worth noting when one of the chief ingredients in making or breaking a romantic comedy is chemistry. I think that this categorization, in this genre, is not in the least bit random.

I don't believe at any point in my post that I mentioned that Tracy and Hepburn, or any other of these famous romantic partnerships were superior to, or even equaled, any of the non-romantic pairings you mentioned above. Nor would I make such a claim.

Interesting point re: Bogart and Bergman vs. Bogart and Bacall. I'll grant you that, pound for pound, CASABLANCA is a better movie than TO HAVE AND HAVE NOT (although to my mind they are both pretty wonderful)...but I don't think Bergman had one jot of the chemistry with Bogart that Bacall did, right off the bat. Bergman and Bogart sell the romance in CASABLANCA because they're both good actors (apparently they didn't care for each other in real life), and the story is just so good. In TO HAVE AND HAVE NOT, the sparks fly like crazy between Bogie and Bacall, there's no mistaking it, and it heightens the tension in all their scenes together. Again, I think this is a valid point of discussion in a review of such a movie. Your mileage, of course, may vary.

Clayton
7/2/2012 12:03:59 am

I do get your point! Powell and Loy are what I would call a pairing that match the greatness of any other duo in film without the special protection of a subcategory; when they're together we're treated to something actually special.

As far as film buff-iverse arbitrary subcategories, I'd like to nominate Ronald Reagan and Bonzo as one of the great Man/Chimp pairings in all of cinema! :)

Jeff
7/1/2012 10:09:53 pm

Cheers, Colin! I think we're in agreement here...personally, I'd probably put WOMAN OF THE YEAR and ADAM'S RIB ahead of DESK SET for sheer zany fun and overall score on the laugh-o-meter. Having Judy Holliday in ADAM'S RIB certainly helps.

As Clayton says, Flynn always had good chemistry with his female co-stars, but like you I think he and De Havilland had a little something extra, probably honed through all their many films together. Plus Flynn apparently had a special regard for her, and I think that slight, extra bit of tenderness he shows her in their work together is noticeable.

Good point re: Tracy's power as a performer gaining in strength as he got older. He was always good but he reaches near monolithic proportions without seeming to break a sweat in the 50s and 60s, with commanding performances in such films as BAD DAY AT BLACK ROCK, INHERIT THE WIND, JUDGEMENT AT NUREMBURG, THE OLD MAN AND THE SEA, BROKEN LANCE, and even something comparatively minor as the underappreciated THE MOUNTAIN. What he had that made him special though is a bit hard to define (kind of like that famous quote about pornography, "I know it when I see it.")

Ha ha - You're right: Spencer Tracy IS "doughy". This is a great review of a really fun movie.

Jeff
7/2/2012 06:58:56 pm

Heh. Thanks, R.A.! Didn't want to disparage Tracy's looks too much...but he was a bit older and fleshy at this stage of his life. He's still a winning presence, at any rate.

Dan
7/2/2012 09:37:02 pm

You wanna know something scary? Spence was fifty-seven when he made this--he looks at least eighty!

So did he just have a hard life, or was Hepburn some sort of life-sucking vampire?

Youth wants to know!

Jeff
7/2/2012 10:13:37 pm

Ha! Good one, Dan! I don't know about 80, but old Spence looked a bit the worse for wear for only being 57. All that alcohol took its toll, I imagine.

Most of these old-school actors looked much older than their pretty boy counterparts now do at the same age. Harder living had to be a part of it. At least they all looked like men, rather than models.

I've always really liked this film for its warmth and also for its intimacy - obviously this derives from its stage origins and the propensity for Fox's early CinemaScope films to be studio-bound, but it really works like a charm.

For years I used to use part of the climax, the pink-slip scene, in a course I taught on the audio-visual sources of information so that everyone could have a laugh at the big computer and to then ask how the audience would try and figure out which of the nine Hepburn-Tracey pairings this one was. In about 7 years of running the course, I never, ever ran into a person who could identify the film. So very glad to see you stick up for it so persuasively. Cheers Jeff.

Jeff
7/3/2012 09:16:07 pm

Greetings, Sergio!

That's interesting that you used the "pink slip" scene from this movie in your class. The students must have had a giggle at that scene, especially when they got a look at EMARAC. I'm curious, what other films did you use to illustrate audio-visual information sources? And are you still doing the course?

At first glance, it seems an odd choice of words, "intimacy," considering how few close-ups there are in DESK SET, but you're spot on, there is a definite sense of intimacy here, partly in the way it's filmed in studio (and also the closeness inherited from its stage origins), but also in the way the characters interact with each other. It's not something that I noticed until you pointed it out...good call!

Colin link
7/3/2012 06:48:08 am

You know, reading through all the comments here on this relatively lesser known movie just brought home why I like visiting this place. Jeff, you have a habit of choosing stuff to feature that's offbeat in a very nice way - not obscurities but the kind of films that just make you feel satisfied when you watch them, and you manage to get that across very well. Anyway, just wanted to say that I've enjoyed both the article and the fun discussion.

Jeff
7/3/2012 09:21:23 pm

That's very kind of you to say so, Colin, cheers! I'm making a definite effort to try and choose movies that are a little off the beaten path, as you say. As much as I love the really famous classics, there's little fresh that I can add to the discussion at this stage. Not that I'll pass up commenting on a few of my personal all-time favorites from time to time. Anyway, thanks for the comment, and I really appreciate your support of this blog from its early stages.
