I watched a 1958 comedy film called "Teacher's Pet" which I had recorded some time ago. The leads were Clark Gable and Doris Day. I wasn't expecting much as the pairing seemed odd and the title was a bit off-putting.
A better film than I was expecting. Doris Day is the teacher of a course in journalism for adults and Gable is sent there by his newspaper boss.
She made the film before she made her better known comedies.
The script was written by Fay and Michael Kanin. Michal Kanin was a co-writer of "Woman of the Year" (1942). He was the older brother of Garson Kanin who, together with his wife Ruth Gordon, wrote "Adam's Rib" (1949) and "Pat and Mike" (1952).
Those three films are amongst the Spencer Tracy and Katharine Hepburn comedies they made. "Teacher's Pet" is a similar type of comedy,
The film was made in black and white as an attempt to disguise the fact that Gable was 57 and overweight. It was originally written as a drama then switch to a comedy. The elements of drama were still there.
