I had to watch this entire flick, visiting a group of friends. The host and hostess (and, frankly, most of the others) professed to be such great Tracy-Hepburn fans, that they all but cheered when the host/hostess insisted we all view this presentation, and then they all but drooled, collectively, in trying to top one another in its praise.
The widespread adoration of this duo and their acting talents has always been lost on me - whether viewing them together or individually. Everything I've ever seen them do has sort of melded together in my mind - as if they were performing the same shtick on, say, a weekly television program.
This story is weak, and the type of fact Hepburn dredges-up, so that her acumen can be shown as superior to the newfangled computer, are banal and very unfunny.
Tracy's character reminded me of the Jim Backus in his "Gilligan's Island" role.
At least half of an average rating for this film is due to it providing at least some nostalgia in scenery, plot and film style of the 1950's
