    • Trivia
      Cary Grant and James Stewart both turned down the role of James Gannon because they knew they were too old for the part. However, Clark Gable, who did play the part, was older than either of them.
    • Goofs
      Gannon is obviously close to retirement age, so why does Erica treat him like a young journalistic prodigy?
    • Quotes

      James Gannon: How could you give up a real newspaper job for teaching?

      Erica Stone: Well, that's a very good question, Mr. Gallagher. Maybe for the same reason that occasionally a musician wants to be a conductor, he wants to hear a hundred people play music the way he hears it.

    An often ignored classic

    I first saw Teacher's Pet when I was six years old. I'm a mere 19 now, and I still love this movie. Clark Gable was, is, and always will be the epitome of the word "star" Even though this film was almost 20 years after Gone With The Wind, Gable is still handsome and charismatic as the jagged, disagreeable, stubborn reporter. Gig Young and Mamie Van Doren help Gable to push this movie into the classics hall of fame. A definite must see for all viewers.**** out of ****
