Teachers Pet (DVD)

Film legends Clark Gable (Run Silent, Run Deep) and Doris Day (The Ballad of Josie) headline a comedy with class! Gable (in one of his finest late-career performances) plays Jim Gannon, a school-of-hard-knocks newspaperman who despises journalism schools…until he sees who’s doing the teaching. Attracted to lovely professor Erica Stone (Day), he masquerades as a novice in her class. Soon he’s her prize pupil, all the while trying to make her his own prize. Also answering the roll call in this engaging romp are giggle-inducing Gig Young (Oscar-nominated for Best Actor in a Supporting Role, 1958), Mamie Van Doren, Nick Adams and Jack Albertson. Ready, class? Today we conjugate “to laugh” in this grade-A romantic comedy classic from producer William Perlberg (Miracle on 34th Street), director George Seaton (The Country Girl, Airport) and scribes Fay and Michael Fanin (Oscar®-nominated for Best Original Screenplay, 1958)!
