The Stop Button Posted by Andrew Wickliffe on October 16, 2017

Despite being an adaptation of a stage play and having one main set, Desk Set shouldn’t be stagy. The single main location–and its importance–ought to be able to outweigh the staginess. Desk Set does not, however, succeed in not being stagy. It puts off being stagy for quite a while,...   read more

Love Letters to Old Hollywood Posted by Michaela on May 13, 2016

I love everything about this poster... except that man that's supposedly Spencer Tracy. It reminds me of some other actor, but I can't quite put a finger on it. Anyway, despite touting for years that Katharine Hepburn is my everything, including on this blog, I have yet to review one...   read more

In The Good Old Days Of Classic Hollywood Posted by Crystal Kalyana on December 28, 2014

What is Christmas without reviewing this wonderful Tracy and Hepburn movie for Monty’s Christmas movie month, so for my second Christmas and holiday movie review to be exhibited on “All Good Things” I’m providing a detailed account of “Desk Set”, the eighth of the   read more

Once Upon a Screen Posted by Aurora on May 12, 2014

Walter Lang’s Desk Set (1957) was destined to be a film of distinction for several reasons, not the least of which was the talent and popularity of its two stars.  Alone, each is often mentioned as the greatest actor to have ever appeared on the silver screen.  Together they made...   read more

Walter Lang’s DESK SET (1957) is one of Katharine Hepburn’s few “Christmas movies.” You could possibly count LITTLE WOMEN (Cukor, 1933) or Anthony Harvey’s THE LION IN WINTER (1968), but DESK SET stands out as a film that really captures the Christmas spirit, at least f   read more

Journeys in Classic Film Posted by Kristen on June 19, 2012

I’m slowly working my way through the films Spencer Tracy and Katherine Hepburn made together.  It’s going slowly because I’m finding the movies in various places because I lack the money to buy the Tracy/Hepburn box set!  I’ve seen Adam’s Rib and Guess Who’s Comi   read more

Though it was given a less than festive-sounding name, Walter Lang's Desk Set is one of my favorite holiday films. It takes place in December 1957 at the fictional Federal Broadcasting Company (FBC), surely only a slight cover for the real National Broadcasting Company (NBC). Based in the network'   read more

Movie Classics Posted by Judy on October 13, 2008

Filmed in truly glorious Technicolor, this is probably the lightest of the Spencer Tracy and Katharine Hepburn movies I’ve seen so far. ( I only have a couple of the ones they made together still to go.) This time there’s no real sense of conflict – although obviously the romantic...   read more
