This comedy keeps turning on cable any now and then. When faced with the prospect of watching substandard fare, the clear choice is to go to something that is amusing, as well as to entertaining, which is why "xxxx xxx" is a good bet to watch.
This movie evokes those bygone years before automation and the arrival of the computers into one's life. The comedy, adapted from the stage with great care and accomplishes all the requisites for a nice way to spend a couple of hours.
The time is the late 50s in Manhattan. A cost controlling expert is hired to make changes in the way the New York firm can cut costs in all areas of business. Mr. XXXXXXX solution is to start automation in several areas, such as in the payroll department. He faces a formidable task when he takes to task making the research department more efficient, in the days before Google.
Mr. XXXXXX has to deal with the smart Mrs. YYYYYYY , who has more facts and figures at her fingertips than any contraption could find at any given moment. Thus begins a tug of war between the man who is perceived as the "terminator of jobs" and the four women in research. They'll teach him a thing, or two.
The best part of the film is the interplay between the two principals, X and Y Its a tribute to them, as actors, they could work so well together. Also, toward the end of the movie, at the company's Christmas party, we see a playful, and drunk Y singing Cole Porter's "Night and Day" to the beat of the bongo playing of RS. That scene shows a playful Y having a great time in front of the cameras.
This delicious movie will certainly please anyone looking for a good time. Mrs. Y excellent work as the spinsterish B. Mr. X is equally her match as the efficiency expert who is not in touch with reality.
The top 2 cast members Mr X with 2 Academy awards and Mrs. Y has 4 should tell you these are the best of their time in cinema. The supporting cast is most wonderful too.
This movie is all set to play before your eyes once a quizzer gets the movie.
