Desk Set
Description by Jason Buchanan

For the old-fashioned folks who feel that the romantic comedy genre just isn't what it used to be, get ready for a blast from the past with 20th Century Fox's release of the Spencer Tracy/Katharine Hepburn classic Desk Set. The film is presented in 2.35:1 widescreen and offers a variety of audio options including English Dolby Digital mono and stereo, Spanish Dolby Digital mono, and French Dolby Digital mono with optional English and Spanish subtitles -- so viewers around the globe will be able to appreciate Tracy and Hepburn regardless of what language they may speak. A nice surprise for such an old title, 20th Century Fox has also seen fit to include some fantastic extra features on this disc as well. In addition to a commentary track by Dina Merrill and Neva Patterson, viewers can also access a featurette detailing the influential design of Desk Set as well as a stills gallery and a flurry of trailers for such studio classics as All About Eve and The Seven Year Itch.
