From Amazon.com
Clark Gable's bluff masculinity is a big part of the story and appeal of Teacher's Pet, to such a degree that his age (near 60) doesn't seem like such a problem as he romances perky Doris Day. Gable is an old-school newspaperman who scoffs at the idea of journalism being taught in night school; hard knocks and shoe leather are his preferred textbooks. Naturally, Doris teaches journalism in night school. Gable masquerades as an inexperienced student in order to prove her wrong, which brings forth some fairly labored complications, presented in pedestrian style by director George Seaton. The film is too long for its own good, but as an illustration of movie-star value, it's a convincer--Gable and Day are completely, effortlessly within their established personas. Gig Young adds pep as a brainy psychologist (whose expertise extends to hangover recipes--he and Gable have a good morning-after scene). Doris sings the incorrigibly catchy title song over the opening credits, but stick around for Mamie Van Doren's nightclub rendition of "The Girl Who Invented Rock 'n Roll," a real eye-roller. --Robert Horton

All-time favourite June 14, 2007
D. Marois (Quebec)
This is probably my favorite romantic comedy of all time. All three principals are fabulous, especially Gig Young who richly deserved his supporting actor Oscar - he is just sublime. And, well, what can you say about Doris day, the prototypical girl next door. This is the type of film you no longer see - makes you laugh without being crude.

The clash between old-style newspaperman (Gable), modern newswoman (Day) and stuffy professor (Young) is a classic. The drinking scene at the club will have you in stitches, especially the punch line at the exit. Of course, each of them learns valuable lessons from the others.

While Doris Day is her usual perky self and Gig Young is funny as expected the real surprise is Clark Gable who is hilarious in his old-ways thinking. His Neanderthal views of the news are the centerpiece of this film and he plays it perfectly. He shows how great an actor he was.

A romantic comedy that should be better-known. Well-worth having in your library.

Doris Day vs. Clark Gable in the journalism class. May 16, 2004
James McDonald (Lancaster, California)
Clark Gable is the City Editor of the New York Evening Cronicle Newspaper. A woman (Vivian Nathan) who has been trying to see him for weeks has a complaint. Her son, Bernard (Nick Adams) is just the errand boy there. She wants her son to be fired so he can go back to school for an education. Gable thinks differently. The kid has a good head start. Even helps him with a story or two and has him on as an extra. Clark gable by order of his boss, must go to see Professor Stone of the Journalism class. He didn't count on the Professor being Doris Day. He was invited to appear at this class as a guest speaker, but wrote a rude letter back. Now his boss is making him go to apoligize. Well, there he is in the classroom to apoligize, (Actress Marion Ross [Happy Days tv series] is the first student through the door) but doesn't because the Professor believes he will not show up. She got the rude letter and reads it to the class. Now that Gable had a face full, he sneaks out of the classroom, but now he is in an angry rut. here he is the City Editor and never went to high school. He believes the Professor is teaching amateurs to be amateurs. So he goes back to the classroom incognito as a student to teach this lady professor a thing or two about the newspaper business.
Also in the cast, Gig Young, Mamie Von Doren, Jack Albertson and Sandra Gould who played "Gladys Kravitz #2" in the Bewitched tv series.

Teacher's Pet I want to be Teacher's Pet April 29, 2004
Chris (Leeds, Utah United States)
Clark Gable and Doris Day had such chemistry in this movie they are always annoying each other. Jim Gannon (Clark Gable), and Erica Stone (Doris Day) are 2 rival Newspaper business people! This movie turns into a great classic comedy and the 2 learn to love each other I highly suggest this movie to anybody !

A fun pairing of Clark Gable and Doris Day April 17, 2004
Joe Sixpack -- Slipcue.com (...in Middle America)
Filmed in black-and-white at the height of the Technicolor era, this film is an intentional throwback to the old-school screwball comedies, with a plot based on mistaken identity and a love/hate relationship between a blustering man and a too-professional gal. Clark Gable was a bit long in the tooth when this flick was made, but he does quite nicely in his role as Jim Gannon, a gruff, hardbitten newspaperman who has an axe to grind against smartypants college classes that purport to teach students how to become journalists. He stomps off to Fancypants U., to give them all a piece of his mind, but when the egghead professor turns out to be a stylishly attired Doris Day -- well, hubba hubba! -- he starts to change his mind! Next to "Run Silent, Run Deep," which came out the same year, his is one of Gable's finest later performances, and Day is as lovable as ever. Top honors may go to the supporting actor, Gig Young, who delivers a wonderfully understated, funny performance as one of Day's fellow academics. His sly slapstick in a long hangover scene is worth the price of admission all by itself. A nice film, very much of its time... The "serious" theme -- about the importance of a good college education -- takes over the film in the second half, and actually brings it to a grinding halt right towards the end... But the movie is still entirely enjoyable, and worth checking out if you're looking for something light and retro.

Lot's of laughs, not a 4-letter word on the tape... Clark Gable and Gig Young to a hilarious job of verbal sparring...
