Though a millionaire several times over, Picasso lives in the elegant villa like a wandering Okie. A flock of pigeons coo from the third-floor balcony, chickens cluck on the lawn, the goat is kept on the second floor. Significantly the one clear space in the house is around his easel, lit by a powerful electric lamp with triple reflectors, where he paints every day from 4 p.m. until after midnight with an old boxboard for a palette, sometimes knocking off two or three versions of a subject in a single session.

Based on William Marchant's 1955 Broadway comedy about the milder terrors of technological unemployment, Desk Set has been expanded by a sizable pigeonhole, in which Katharine Hepburn and Spencer Tracy intermittently bill and coo.

...well-planned opportunities for the Lunts to display their past mastership at all the bright surfacy wrinkles of their profession. If, in time, a blindfolded Lynn Fontanne can identify certain members of the audience, almost any blindfolded member of the audience could identify Actress Fontanne from a single coo. In The Great Sebastians, however, the Lunts' cooing counts for less than their billing: the show is liveliest when it is making fun of show folk, and the Lunts are most delightful when they are capering as hams. The plot also permits them their moments of deft heroics, and some...
