Desk Set

Spencer & Katharine,two people who loved each-other and should have been able to spend their lives together,except fate would not allow it. Aside from their well known relationship,it was great that they had the movies to make together.

However,Desk Set's set up is a guy meets girl plot wrapped up in a modern (1950's) technology storyline. It seems that they have "met" in movies and fallen in love several times before,so that aspect here was not a "big" surprise at all. I was sure these two characters would be fighting tooth & nail with each other in their great comedic style (like "Adam's Rib" or such.)

Overall,everyone gives a "nice" performance,there's humor to be had here and I laughed at some of it but still,I expected a grander scale of laughs from them. I think at their age "boy meets girl" is a bit much to play convincingly.

Makes me glad their last film was as great as it was. 7 out of ten,good but somemone should have gone back to their desk or drawing board. (END)
