Gable and Day In Schoolroom Caper! Read All About It!
Agreeable romantic comedy with Clark Gable as gruff City Editor, Jim Gannon. He's an uneducated man and proud of it. But he finds himself falling for journalism professor Erica Stone (Doris Day). Gig Young is very funny in his role as the relentlessly successful Dr Hugo Pine, psychologist and bongo player extraordinaire of whom Gannon is so jealous.

Some of the dialogue is a little stilted, and at times the film has the feel of a stage play about it, but it's always entertaining. The scene at the Bongo Club with an embarrassed Jim Gannon getting hot and bothered as his girlfriend performs her raunchy (for the time) night club act, is a real hoot. Gable plays the scene to perfection and his character's discomfort is all too apparent to the much amused Erica.

This is a much underrated (by the professional critics) comedy and it's a pity that the DVD offers nothing in the way of extras except subtitles and audio in various languages. The film clocks in at nearly two hours, but it's such a pleasant diversion that it doesn't feel that long.
