Synopsis

EXTRA! EXTRA! Newspaperman Clark Gable falls for journalism instructor Doris Day! Movie legends Clark Gable and Doris Day headline a comedy with class! Gable (in one of his finest late-career performances) plays Jim Gannon, a school-of-hard-knocks newspaperman who despises journalism schools... until he sees who's doing the teaching. Attracted to lovely professor Erica Stone (Day), he masquerades as a novice in her class. Soon he's her prize pupil, all the while trying to make her his own prize. Also answering the roll call in this engaging romp are Gig Young (in an Oscar.-nominated portrayal), Mamie Van Doren, Nick Adams and Jack Albertson. Ready, class? Today we conjugate "to laugh."
