Watch Teacher's Pet For Free

Very very predictable, including the post credit scene !!!

Sadly Over-hyped

Good , But It Is Overrated By Some

Very interesting film. Was caught on the premise when seeing the trailer but unsure as to what the outcome would be for the showing. As it turns out, it was a very good film.

Before "Teacher's Pet," most movies showed the press in unflattering ways. Not that it wasn't accurate, or deserving. The sensationalist press of the early 20th century seemed to relish its often exaggerated reporting of events. Indeed, it thrived on such fodder. But, this movie for the first time takes a serious look at the newspaper field. It does that with a comedy romance that stars Clark Gable and Doris Day. He was 57. She was 36. Both were big stars and major box office draws. They had never been matched together in a movie before. But they had a chemistry that works perfectly for this story. This isn't a comedy filled with antics and running dialog of humorous lines. Rather, it's a sophisticated comedy with satire that is built around the newspaper trade – or profession, depending on one's point of view. Watch this film and you'll get the drift about the differences in those two descriptions. Gable is James Gannon, a hard-bitten city news editor of a major New York City paper. He came up the hard way and learned the newspaper trade by experience. He was a first-rate reporter who knew how to write. He knew how to edit and lay out a paper. And he knew the business. Day is Erica Stone, a college instructor in journalism. She grew up in the business with her father who had run a weekly newspaper and won a Pulitzer Prize. She had some experience and she knew the business, including how to teach journalism. Both have prejudices, but Gannon's is the strongest and weakest. He looks down on the college-trained employee the paper has hired and he relegates him to handling obituaries. He doesn't think people can learn to write or to be reporters in a classroom. Stone sees the street-wise, informally trained writer as a thing of the past. The beauty of this story is how they each influence the other's opinions, and how they get one another to see other possibilities. Of course, this is done over time and frequent contact that blooms into romance. It has good humor spread throughout the lessons of journalism and reporting. Along with this, there is a mild love triangle that becomes the source of much of the humor. Gig Young plays Dr. Hugo Pine who is collaborating with Erica on a book. They are also dating, and that rankles Gannon just enough to get him to try to show up Pine. But, unfortunately, Pine's knowledge and abilities prove too much for him – until they resolve it with a drinking match. Pine and Gannon become friends over time. When Gannon has second thoughts about his abilities, due to lack of formal education, Pine reassures him that he hasn't suddenly become inept. Pine, "You're confusing education with schooling. Education is the acquisition of knowledge. Knowledge is knowing, familiarity gained by experiences. Wisdom is defined as 'the possession of experience and knowledge.' Now, being experienced, you therefore have education, you have knowledge and you have wisdom."While the conclusions in the lines of an actor in a movie might surely be challenged by many, Pine's philosophical speech says a lot. I have known highly educated people (some as friends) and people who didn't finish high school (some as friends). A few of the former were not the brightest or wisest people I have known, while some of the latter are among the wisest. In Gannon's case, he was well read and he studied and learned his profession (or trade) well. But, he didn't have a diploma that said he acquired his knowledge through formal education.Grade school through high school teachers generally must have formal degrees. Most young people wouldn't be able to teach just based on experience. And, formal education usually includes some psychology and training in people skills and in being able to identify learning problems. But, by the college level of teaching, many fields don't require formal degrees. People with many years of experience and self- learning can be far more expert and knowledgeable than someone who has just graduated from college right out of high school. Such people might be found in writing, languages, philosophy, inventions, and some of the physical sciences. Others describe some of the plot, but I think most viewers will enjoy the film more by not knowing too many of the details beforehand. This is an interesting and informative film, as well as a satire and very good comedy romance. The performances are superb by all, including the several editors, reporters and others in the city room of Gannon's paper. I worked many years as a writer, including several on newspapers. This movie is a good picture of journalism and the press of the mid-20th century.Edna Kovac (Vivian Nathan) says to Gannon, "I don't care what anybody says, I like you!" And he didn't even flinch. Well, I don't care what others say, I like this film.

The New York Evening Chronicle's City Editor James Gannon (Clark Gable) is a stubborn self-made journalist that has not even concluded high- school and believes that the business is to be learned working in a newspaper office and not in college. He also believes that the fact is important but not the why. When he is invited to be the guest lecturer in the night school journalism of E. Stone (Doris Day), he wrongly believes that she is a man and sends a non-polite letter to her explaining the reasons why he does not want to waste his time. However his boss Lloyd Crowley (Harry Antrim) gives direct orders to him to attend the class.Instructor Erica Stone reads Gannon's letter for the class and he pretends to be a student to humiliate her to her class. However, they feel both attracted by each other and Erica believes that Gannon has a great potential to be a journalist. When Erica dates the talented Dr. Hugo Pine (Gig Young), Gannon goes to the same restaurant and disputes Erica's attention with Dr. Pine. Gannon and Erica fall in love with each other, but how will Erica react when she learns that her student is the notorious Gannon? "Teacher's Pet" is one of the best romantic comedies I have ever seen, with an intelligent and witty story and wonderful performances, highlighting the chemistry between Clark Gable and Doris day. There are memorable scenes, like the duel between Gannon and Dr. Pine in the restaurant, and a great discussion between education and schooling. The moral in the end of the story is worthwhile. My vote is nine.Title (Brazil): Not Available

Teacher's Pet is not absolutely perfect, but I enjoyed it very much. It is overlong, the gender politics I feel have dated and while it is excellent on the whole the script unravels a bit at the end. Still, it looks nice, is very well directed, has good music, a witty script and scenarios and great performances not only from Clark Gable and the lovely Doris Day as they play their parts with obvious boisterous enthusiasm but Gig Young as well as Day's other beau. I also loved the story, it was well written and rarely lagged or felt lame. In conclusion, while flawed, Teacher's Pet is a on the whole delightful comedy that is worth seeing for the leads. 7/10 Bethany Cox

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.
