In TEACHER'S PET, film legend Clark Gable stars as Jim Gannon, a school-of-hard-knocks newspaperman who despises journalism schools... until he sees who's doing the teaching. Attracted to lovely professor Erica Stone (Day), he masquerades as a novice in her class. Soon he's her prize pupil, all the while trying to make her his own prize. (official distributor synopsis)

Absolutely brilliant. It easily outshines all the worn-out films from the journalistic environment, whether it's His Girl Friday or All the President's Men. Nothing is lacking, nothing is excessive. A magnificent script, with meticulously crafted lines, and it even managed to tastefully depict the intergenerational shift, the practical perspective, the academic theory, and the classic friction in the field of media. "This is the task of newspapers in today's world. Television and radio broadcast the news shortly after it happens. Newspapers can no longer compete with them in reporting. But they can and should tell the public why it happened."
