I haven't seen Desk Set, but what about some of the other Hepburn/Tracy films? Like Adam's Rib? Or even Pat and Mike? I love watching their movies because it always feels real...because they were real.
I'm thinking so hard about this and nothing is immediately coming to mind. But I know I'll come up with something.
You know, I might make an argument for Born Yesterday, which I know seems super odd...but Paul (Holden) truly cares for Billie. He doesn't make fun of her like Harry does when she says something dumb. He takes time for her, wants to be around her. He helps her build her confidence and makes her realize that she really isn't dumb. He begins to fall in love with her during this process--he has every bit of confidence that she can do anything or be anything, she just has to put her mind to it... and get away from Harry.
