Teacher's Pet (1958)
10/10
Wonderful film!
28 August 2007
I finally bought this film (great price available on Amazon), and for the first time I saw this film uncut. What a treat! I would love to know if Doris Day and Clark Gable enjoyed making the film together. They have wonderful on-screen chemistry. If they enjoyed working together as much as was reflected on-screen, I'm sure they would have made another picture together if Clark Gable had survived. This was one of his last films. He died two years after this film was released. If you want to see a very enjoyable romantic movie, try "Teacher's Pet," uncut! And what a superb supporting cast, including Gig Young as an interesting romantic rival. It is also a brilliant newspaper movie, showing the inside of journalism. For newspaper journalism, it's as relevant today as when the film was made in 1958. If you want a great Clark Gable double feature, try "It Happened One Night," with Claudette Colbert, and "Teacher's Pet." Gable plays a reporter in both these films. I found it fun that although "It Happened One Night" was made towards the beginning of Gable's career, and "Teacher's Pet" was made at the end, some of Gable's voice qualities are the same, and he uses this voice quality to great advantage in both films. These two films make a great double feature.
