Teacher’s Pet (1958). A hard-nosed newspaper editor poses as a night school student in order to woo a journalism teacher who cannot stand him.

This is a pretty delightful romantic comedy, with great pacing and wonderful chemistry between Clark Gable, Doris Day and Gig Young. It also poses some interesting questions about education, class and late-fifties womanhood that elevates it above a lot of the romantic comedies released at the time. It’s, all in all, a lot of fun. 7.5/10
