This vintage Hollywood rom-com, listed as a holiday favorite in Have Yourself a Movie Little Christmas , features one of American film’s most legendary couples: When efficiency expert Richard Sumner (Spencer Tracy) starts sniffing around the research department of the Federal Broadcasting Company TV network, the librarians naturally get suspicious. That department’s head, Bunny Watson (Katharine Hepburn), knows that Sumner is the inventor of an “electronic brain” called EMERAC, and she worries that if he installs one of his super-computers, she and research librarians Peg (Joan Blondell), Sylvia (Dina Merrill), and Ruthie (Sue Randall) will all be out of a job.
