Desk Set (1957)
Bunny and her team of Peg, Sylvia, and Ruthie manage a reference and research department for a television network. They provide quick answers to any questions on any subject. Richard, an efficiency expert, enters their office and begins measuring the space for the installation of an electronic brain to handle some of the routine work. The girls initially have a negative reaction to this intrusion, resulting in many misunderstandings. However, the issue is ultimately resolved to the satisfaction of all parties.
