(Flash Review)Basic premise is a journalism professor asks a high power newspaper editor to speak at her class. He writes a very rude reply in addition to saying no as it would be a waste of his time. The editor's boss later commands him to go to the class. Now embarrassed by his letter that the teacher read to the whole class, he claims to be a student to hide his shame. He finds the teacher very attractive and begins to hit on her with charm and writing intelligence. He continues to attend class posing as a student. As this progresses, will he come clean about his true identity and if he does, how will the teacher react? Several amusing moments throughout, good acting, smart dialog and nice crisp black and white film stock turn this into a fun little film. Also has some unique perspectives as the 50's began to change into the 60's.

This is a good comedy film. It needs as little as a couple of charismatic protagonists — one of which bearing a special allure, as Clark Gable inquestionably is —, a good quantity of moments and exchanges of words well able to provide amusement and even laugh, and that discreet pair of sadness and depth that, with its absence or presence, tells apart trivial productions from more meaningful works. Teacher's Pet exceeds the requirements for a good comedy, third cast member Gid Young offers a seriously noteworthy play performance, importantly enriching the enjoyment of the story.Light jokes, significant humour, whose back side frequently is bitter irony, add to very vivid black & white photography. Aesthetical prowess, brilliance in dialogue, are the shiny, fetching cover veiling a beautifully played beautiful drama.

The New York Evening Chronicle's City Editor James Gannon (Clark Gable) is a stubborn self-made journalist that has not even concluded high- school and believes that the business is to be learned working in a newspaper office and not in college. He also believes that the fact is important but not the why. When he is invited to be the guest lecturer in the night school journalism of E. Stone (Doris Day), he wrongly believes that she is a man and sends a non-polite letter to her explaining the reasons why he does not want to waste his time. However his boss Lloyd Crowley (Harry Antrim) gives direct orders to him to attend the class.Instructor Erica Stone reads Gannon's letter for the class and he pretends to be a student to humiliate her to her class. However, they feel both attracted by each other and Erica believes that Gannon has a great potential to be a journalist. When Erica dates the talented Dr. Hugo Pine (Gig Young), Gannon goes to the same restaurant and disputes Erica's attention with Dr. Pine. Gannon and Erica fall in love with each other, but how will Erica react when she learns that her student is the notorious Gannon? "Teacher's Pet" is one of the best romantic comedies I have ever seen, with an intelligent and witty story and wonderful performances, highlighting the chemistry between Clark Gable and Doris day. There are memorable scenes, like the duel between Gannon and Dr. Pine in the restaurant, and a great discussion between education and schooling. The moral in the end of the story is worthwhile. My vote is nine.Title (Brazil): Not Available

I was pleasantly surprised how much I liked this movie. I wasn't sure I would like Gable & Day together - that their age difference would be too awkward (she looked even younger than her 34 years and he was 58). But their chemistry worked. I like Doris much better when she isn't singing all the time - you get to really appreciate her acting skills!I especially liked the smart dialogue in places. The ongoing debate of experience vs. education. I thought the analogy of the conductor was beautiful (see quotes page). Also, the comparison that "Experience is the jockey - Education is the horse." The screenwriters certainly deserved their Oscar nod for this gem! I also was pleasantly surprised to see a young Marion Ross (Mrs. Cunningham on "Happy Days") in the role as Ms. Day's assistant.
