Reporter der Liebe: Directed by George Seaton. With Clark Gable, Doris Day, Gig Young, Mamie Van Doren. A hard-nosed newspaper editor poses as a night school student in order to woo a journalism teacher who cannot stand him.

Of great value in the cast is smarmy Gig Young as the perfect writer and the perfect intellectual (and the perfect foil to get on Gableu0026#39;s nerves).

Go on, treat yourself to an exceptional example of the genre.”
