One of the lesser Tracy-Hepburn vehicles, this is an entertaining movie even in light of a pretty dated look today.

Spencer Tracy comes to a research firm (kind of a phone "encyclopedia" service) in order to supplant the competent female staff headed by Hepburn with an all-powerful and gigantic electronic computer - all in the name of modern efficiency. This sets the parties up in typical opposition and leads to good dialog between the two as the sparring heats up. And of course, romance also ensues. All of this is fine, but it strikes me as a little too "been there, seen that" - this was one of those movies that really didn't make me think very much and really had no surprises.
