help Teacher's Pet FAQ
Why does Clark Gable's character enroll in journalism school?
Newspaper editor James Gannon initially visits the class to argue that practical newsroom experience matters more than academic instruction. After meeting professor Erica Stone, played by Doris Day, he enrolls under an assumed identity and conceals that he is the editor who criticized her.
Is Teacher's Pet mainly about a teacher dating her student?
The apparent student is actually an experienced newspaper editor pretending to be a beginner. The 1958 comedy uses that deception to create a professional rivalry and romance between Gannon and Stone.
Who is Gig Young's character in Teacher's Pet?
Gig Young plays Dr. Hugo Pine, a highly accomplished psychologist who is close to Erica. His intelligence and easy confidence make Gannon jealous, but Hugo is more friendly foil than malicious rival.
Did Teacher's Pet receive any Oscar nominations?
