A tough, city editor (Gannon) first ridicules then falls in love with a college professor (Stone) whom he is reluctantly ordered to help. This may have been one of Doris’s last movies to be filmed in B/W but that didn’t dampen the appeal of the picture. Teacher’s Pet which united two screen legends went on to receive an Oscar nomination for Best Screenplay with Gig Young being nominated for his Supporting Role.
