Great copy of movie.
Thank you. I will be ordering again in the future.
Easy purchasing process and effective digital download.
I am so happy with my DVD purchase from Rare & Collectables! It arrived packaged well in a nice slim cover with the original DVD picture on it. I will be ordering again!!! Thanku
Item received was not 'starring Helen Hayes' despite her picture being on the DVD, it was actually the version with Joan Hickson. I raised a complaint one week ago but still heard nothing in reply. Very poor customer service.
The movie was very good.
Easy way to get to see an old magnificant movie with superstars. Delivered within 48 hours, downloaded in good quality few minutes with soundtrack in three languages.
i purchased this from you several months ago. Unfortunately I never saved it . i owned the dvd that i purchased about 20 years ago.and when my computer crashed lost it a second time. Anyone who buys a movie three times likes it. What you sold me is near DVD quality. Your competition sells it for three times what you charged because once again it's out of print. To boot when the charge three times the price the qualitty is poor. I OWN 10,000videos that took 40 years to acquire making purchases all over the world. I say this to emphasize that you are the only quality shop doing what you do so customers can have confidence when they buy from you. The only problem dealing with you is your supply is limited otherwise I would be our best customer. For the record this is a fact based story with fictionalized characters.
These copied burned movies not original
It’s illegal to sell burned movies
Perfect condition, really happy with this DVD. Highly recommend

I Sorry But I Don't Like The Thin Case The Dvd Was In
I have used the Rare & Collectables for a few year and find no problem with them. I mainly go for downloads instead of buying the movie.
Thanks so much. Great film.
Doris Day and Clark Gable. Together.
This sole teaming between jolly blonde Doris Day and charismatic Clark Gable works so well you wish that there had been more opportunities for them to appear on film together. Still, we have to content ourselves with this tale – where newspaper hack Gable goes to night class to learn journalism from Day, the daughter of a leading entrepreneur in the field of ‘real news’.
About five minutes in you know where this story is leading, but it sure is fun seeing it get there. 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 Gable’s nerves). You’ll also spot Mamie Van Doren, that low-rent version of Marilyn Monroe, as Gable’s showgirl cutie in a few scenes.
‘Teacher’s Pet’ is one of the unsung successes of Doris Day’s run of romantic comedies. Go on, treat yourself to an exceptional example of the genre.
Probably the first of the sixties ‘SEX’ comedies.
Doris Day was a breath of fresh air. Not only was she an extremely beautiful woman, she was a versatile actress and performer, and as for her singing, I can safely say that I would sooner hear Doris Day sing, than any other female vocalist before or since.
But apart from her singing she was just as well known for her talents as a comedienne, in a series of ‘sex’ comedies in which she always played the virginal unsuspecting prey to the rich, handsome sex maniacs, played by the likes of Rock Hudson, Cary Grant and James Garner.
This film however is probably the first in which this formula was tried, and although not the big smash anyone had hoped for, it nonetheless paved the way for her future success throughout the sixties. In fact with musicals coming to an end in popularity, it was this kind of film which prolonged Miss Day’s movie career by a further ten years.
Her love interest in this vehicle is the wonderful if not aged, Clark Gable, and although it was to be one of his final films, he proves that he is still no stranger to a decent script, and is able to perform his comic turn effortlessly.
It is a story of a hardened reporter of the old school, and a beautiful journalism teacher from the night school, and how the two come together despite conflicting ideals.
An advocate of the school of hard knocks, Gable pretends to be an up and coming journalist student so he can attend Professor Day’s classes, in order to cause his own brand of trouble and bring the prim and proper know-it-all professor down a peg or two. However things obviously turn a bit difficult when he realises that he is in love etc etc blah blah blah. Routine stuff.
Already we have the typical sex comedy scenario of how the guy pretends to be somebody else to get his own back. We saw it again with greater comic effect in the following years Pillow Talk and again in 1962’s Lover Come Back and quite surprisingly again in 2003’s Down With Love with Ewan McGregor and Rene Zellwegger. Again it’s routine stuff, but routine stuff that works.
Although the two leads handle their roles well, in my opinion only one actor shines through this entire film and that is Gig Young. From the moment Young is given screen-time, the other actors have no choice but to sit back and cool off in his shade.
Young plays a handsome and dashing psychologist who is an expert on nearly every subject you care to press him on. He is also a potential beau to Doris Day’s professor and therefore a love rival for Gable. The nightclub scenes and the subsequent hangover scenes are a joy to behold and will have you chuckling throughout. His lines are witty and delivered impeccably in Gig Young’s usual boyish manner. This film is a treat for this reason alone.
If you’re a fan of Doris Day/Rock Hudson style sixties sauce, then give this one some time and see where it all began.
