A newspaper editor (Clark Gable) joins the class of a journalism professor (Doris Day) who despises him, and they begin to fall in love.
Once upon a time, romantic comedies were actually fun and not just fluff. At least, that's what I like to believe to justify my watching the old ones. Doris Day, in particular, made for a great leading lady. Gig Young is fantastic here (no surprise on the Oscar nod), and Clark Gable is superb. Some say he is too old, but I think he's just fine.
And I love that the film is black and white. I guess that was done to help mask Gable's age, but whatever the reason, it just makes the film look better. Especially looking back now (2016).
