Teacher’s Pet 01/28/25
KL Studio Classics
Blu-ray
Clark Gable and Doris Day shine in an overlooked, bright romantic comedy: Kay and Michael Kanin’s elegant screenplay gets in some punches for education and good journalism, and overcomes most dated story aspects. A crusty news editor is forced to attend night school, and discovers that his teacher knows things about newspaper work he didn’t pick up on the street. Gig Young is excellent in the thankless Ralph Bellamy role; Gable mugs too much but demonstrates that he still has what it takes to interest females. Ms. Day’s lecturer goes literally ‘weak in the legs,’ yet doesn’t come off as a ninny. Newly remastered from VistaVision. On Blu-ray from KL Studio Classics.
