I cannot think of one single thing that I would change about this film. The acting is incomparable, the directing deft, and the writing poignantly brilliant.

This story has more twists and turns than a second-rate soap opera.

It’s not bad or unwatchable but despite the amplitude of the spectacle, the end result is underwhelming.

Although I seem to have had higher expectations than I thought, the movie is super entertaining.

(Flash Review)Basic premise is a journalism professor asks a high power newspaper editor to speak at her class. He writes a very rude reply in addition to saying no as it would be a waste of his time. The editor's boss later commands him to go to the class. Now embarrassed by his letter that the teacher read to the whole class, he claims to be a student to hide his shame. He finds the teacher very attractive and begins to hit on her with charm and writing intelligence. He continues to attend class posing as a student. As this progresses, will he come clean about his true identity and if he does, how will the teacher react? Several amusing moments throughout, good acting, smart dialog and nice crisp black and white film stock turn this into a fun little film. Also has some unique perspectives as the 50's began to change into the 60's.

A newspaper editor (Clark Gable) joins the class of a journalism professor (Doris Day) who despises him, and they begin to fall in love.Once upon a time, romantic comedies were actually fun and not just fluff. At least, that's what I like to believe to justify my watching the old ones. Doris Day, in particular, made for a great leading lady. Gig Young is fantastic here (no surprise on the Oscar nod), and Clark Gable is superb. Some say he is too old, but I think he's just fine.And I love that the film is black and white. I guess that was done to help mask Gable's age, but whatever the reason, it just makes the film look better. Especially looking back now (2016).

This is an amiable enough romantic comedy with some neat one-liners and a couple of funny moments that are somewhat overshadowed by the mismatching of Clark Gable, the ageing king of Hollywood, and Doris Day – the eternal virgin before she became a virgin. Gable is a quarter of a century older than his leading lady and, placed opposite her relatively fresh-faced looks, his own rumpled features make him look even older than he really was. Of course, back in the 50s cosmetic surgery wasn't available to movie stars the way it is today but, even allowing for the fact that he's supposed to be playing a somewhat rumpled figure, it's clear he wasn't ageing well. Nevertheless, he's still pretty good in the role of an irascible old school newspaper editor who bridles at the idea that journalism can be taught to novices by the likes of teacher Doris, who has never once worked in a newspaper office, and he manages to make his gruff character entirely likable. The outcome is entirely predictable, but it's a fairly diverting journey to reach it, helped by Gig Young's turn as a know-it-all professor whom Gable initially mistakes for Day's love interest.

A horrendously miscast Gable was way too OLD for this overlong, unfunny piece of garbage. He was close to retirement age and yet she was treating him like some young journalistic progidy, which made no sense at all. As if this awful casting wasn't enough to ruin the film, Gable had ZERO chemistry with the untalented Day and the film is far too long and boring. The only amusing moment comes in the nightclub scene, but even that is too long drawn out. In short - unfunny, overlong, badly dated, and only for old people. The film had to be filmed in black & white because Gable (who only got into movies by working as a rent boy) was so OLD and FAT - at least Cary Grant and James Stewart knew they were too OLD.0/10.
