Has anyone ever seen Desk Set (1957)? It’s a Katherine Hepburn/Spencer Tracy film—the movie itself isn’t important, but in the film, Bunny (Hepburn) has a plant in her office. She’s been working there as the head of the research department (it’s funny; the reference ladies are like the human google—they use books! it’s so dated, now, that it’s really cute and funny) for so long that it’s grown and grown. The super-long vine is hung around the entire perimeter of her office space. I love itttt.
There are a few references to it throughout the movie and I really loved it. I want one. I want a giant plant that’ll serve no other purpose other than for me to be able to say, “Yeah. That plant? I’ve kept it watered for 15 years now. I’ve a real green thumb. (:”
