Teacher's Pet Audience Reviews

Cubussoli Very very predictable, including the post credit scene !!!
Kailansorac Clever, believable, and super fun to watch. It totally has replay value.
Salubfoto It's an amazing and heartbreaking story.
Portia Hilton Blistering performances.
rogerperkins This is one of the best performances I have seen for Clark Gable and Doris Day. I felt they captured the lead characters versus playing themselves as is my opinion of so many of their other movie roles. I am neither a Gable or Day fan. So often, Gable seems to be playing the same person despite the movie or role. Many of the Day movies I have seen strike me in a very similar way, i.e. that Doris Day is just doing Doris Day again. The title and beginning music does not seem to fit the movie; the title and music gave me an incorrect impression of the movie, the title and music give the impression it is another teenage beach movie. So many familiar faces in the supporting cast; thought Dr. Hugo Pine was very well portrayed. Worth viewing despite its age and black and white format. Provided me additional insight in the Gable's and Day's acting talent. Refreshing to see them both as strong personalities.
nomoons11 Take what I said and think about it. Clark Gable already had 25+ years under his belt of doing standard and romantic comedies. He hasn't done many bad films. Take Doris Day and at this time it was the start of her power at the top of the box office. Mix those 2 together and you you get a wily veteran actor with a young beautiful actress who was made for film. The cap is the script is so good it just isn't fair to other romantic comedies.Clark Gable started off right outta the chute with "It Happened One Night" and it has since been hailed as the best romantic comedy ever. As much as much as I like that film it doesn't compare to this one. This one was polished to perfection.As for the plot, It doesn't get much simpler than an old curmudgeon of a newspaper editor gets invited to speak to a college class of budding reporters but he decides that as a reporter, you don't need college, you need experience. Enter Doris Day as the enthusiastic young teacher who loves Journalism. After reading his response to speak to her class she gets rather upset. He's forced to go the class anyhow by the owner of the paper. Whilst there, he decides to act as a student and show off how good his "non-college" experience is to her and the students. Through all he realizes that she actually has good ideas about newer Journalism and most of all, that he loves her....as she does him.You really must watch this gem of a film to get the idea of what I mean. It really is just a special film. Great script, great acting and casting....what more could you ask for?
Aida Nejad The film stars Clark Gable, Doris Day and one of my all-time favorites, Gig Young. Mamie Van Doren also appears in a very small role.I've seen Teacher's Pet four times since I bought it six weeks ago. Gig Young gives the films' funniest performance and got a well-deserved Oscarnomination for it. We see Clark Gable in one of his late roles and Day is as charming and conservative as ever. This movie, unlike so many other classic romantic/comedies, has a message. And a very important one at that. Each time you watch Teacher's Pet you find something more to laugh at and you really begin to understand and appreciate the wonderful performances.
kellyadmirer Clark Gable was the man! He easily pulls off this romantic comedy that is about more than romance, and actually has very important things to say about life. While co-star Doris Day was the future and Gable was running out the string as an actor, he still dominates this film and demonstrates his awesome chops as an actor, not just as a pretty face.Gable plays a hard-bitten newspaper editor, James Gannon, who learned the business by doing it, without any formal education. He is old school, and while defensive, still proud and confident of his abilities. Day is a professor who thinks that Gannon especially and the rest of his kind are badly in need of an education, and she lets the newspaper know her feelings.So, Gable goes down to Day's journalism class at his editor's command, takes a sudden shine to her, and enrolls without revealing his identity. The rest of the film revolves around Gannon's pursuit of Day, who is involved with an accomplished psychology teacher played by Gig Young, and their attempts to teach each other some lessons. There are many humorous incidents along the way, most flowing from Gannon's manly competition with Young - who doesn't fight back at all, and in fact winds up helping him - for Day's favors. If Gable has the Rock Hudson role, Young plays the Tony Randall sidekick. Mamie van Doren has a stunning supporting role, little more than a cameo, as Gannon's singer girlfriend whom Day memorably mimics outrageously later at her apartment.But the competition between the Gable and Young characters is just a sideshow. That wouldn't be a fair fight in any event, Gable's virility even at his advanced age is undeniable. The real fight is between Day's and Gable's ideas about journalism. Gable constantly surprises Day with the quality of his work, and Gable starts questioning everything he does because many of her ideas make a lot of sense. Can you teach an old dog new tricks? Apparently so. And have some fun along the way, too.An enjoyable romp that is made infinitely better because of the very serious message underlying the film. Question everything, and learn from that process! Nothing wrong with that. And Gable and Day make an amazingly cute couple, Day actually managing to look sexy now and then and not just perky as usual.
