Capsule by Dave Kehr
From the Chicago Reader

The least, perhaps, of the Spencer Tracy-Katharine Hepburn collaborations (leaving aside Guess Who's Coming to Dinner?, which doesn't really count), this 1957 comedy is nevertheless a bright and witty vehicle for its stars, directed well and anonymously by that fine old hack Walter Lang. Hepburn heads the reference department of a television network; Tracy is the efficiency expert assigned to "modernize" her operation. In color and 'Scope, photographed by the great Leon Shamroy. 103 min.
