Teacher’s Pet [VHS] Overviews
Clark Gable’s bluff masculinity is a big part of the story and appeal of ITeacher’s Pet/I, 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. I–Robert Horton/I

Teacher’s Pet [VHS] CustomerReview
Whatever flaws this film may have aren’t even worth mentioning. There is sensuality floating around all over the place, how much you’re picking up depends on where your head is at. It’s everywhere, but mostly very subtle. It’s cute, smart, funny, and a tease. Doris Day in her prime could sponge water out of a couch cushion and guys would line up to drink it. You can tell they’re really having fun in this film, they’re playing with the camera,…..you. And there is a well delivered romantic and sentimental effect to balance the equation, and leave a warm feeling inside. Fine actors who really know what they’re doing is what makes this film, that and clever dialogue.br /
