1958's "Teacher's Pet" is delightful, frothy fun, and probably what got the ball rolling a year later for Doris Day to film a batch of highly popular Universal Studios 'battle of the sex' comedies opposite Rock Hudson, among others.

“Teacher’s Pet” is a deliciously funny look at journalism, and the clash between ‘formal’ education vs.

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. You’ll also spot Mamie Van Doren, that low-rent version of Marilyn Monroe, as Gable’s showgirl cutie in a few scenes.

Gig Young

‘Teacher’s Pet’ is one of the unsung successes of Doris Day’s run of romantic comedies.

High-Quality and Interactive, transposable in any key, play along. His only rival is a psychiatrist friend of Stone, Gig Young (Dr. I'm a mere 19 now, and I still love this movie. Also, the comparison that "Experience is the jockey - Education is the horse." The screenwriters certainly deserved their Oscar nod for this gem!

He’s not, but just a very smart newsman who has spent a lifetime learning how a newspaper functions. Kovacs, the newspaper building’s cleaning lady) and Nick Adams (her son, Barney), in trying to settle the issue of whether or not Barney should be given a chance to be a reporter on the paper. That's the only way you can learn.

I have discussed BUT NOT FOR ME elsewhere. Here she's at odds with manly Clark Gable, in a change-of-pace comedy role.

Gable, in the twilight of his career by this time, is still loaded with sly, roguish charm as he plays a brusque, unrefined, self-taught city editor who, at the behest of his superiors, grudgingly signs up for a night class in Journalism 101, taught by the ever-spunky, no-nonsense Ms.

Day. Clark doesn't let Doris in on the fact that he has a life time of experience in journalism, so Doris naturally comes off quite impressed by the "raw talent" of her novice pupil, taking a special interest in sharpening his "promising" skills. However, he's NOT the lead, so...

Sexpot Mamie Van Doren has a small, knockout role as Clark's platinum-blonde squeeze, a club singer who gets to bump and grind the hell out of a great solo number, "I'm the Girl Who Invented Rock and Roll." Trying to pass the bombshell off as an intellectual herself to impress Doris, the song pretty much says it all about Mamie, much to Clark's chagrin and Doris' delight.

Stone's boyfriend] So he's got more degrees than a thermometer, so he speaks seven languages, so he's read every book. While Gannon was obviously a dinosaur, even by 1950s’ standards, Gable appears to be having a ball as the cigarette-smoking, plain-spoken, ‘blue-collar’ hero.

Despite the constant “Will she or Won’t she?” sexual undercurrent of so many of her best comedies of the fifties and early sixties, Doris Day was also a feminist during the era, with her characters self-sufficient, and often holding down important positions based on merit.

Of great value in the cast is smarmy Gig Young as the perfect writer and the perfect intellectual (and the perfect foil to get on Gable’s nerves). With so much of a downer atmosphere generated by this film his three previous comedies sort of pale in comparison.

This is unfair because they were good comedies.

The script by Fay Kaninand Michael Kaninwas first written as a drama. But their chemistry worked.
