(Flash Review)

Basic premise is a journalism professor asks a high power newspaper editor to speak at her class. He writes a very rude reply in addition to saying no as it would be a waste of his time. The editor's boss later commands him to go to the class. Now embarrassed by his letter that the teacher read to the whole class, he claims to be a student to hide his shame. He finds the teacher very attractive and begins to hit on her with charm and writing intelligence. He continues to attend class posing as a student. As this progresses, will he come clean about his true identity and if he does, how will the teacher react? Several amusing moments throughout, good acting, smart dialog and nice crisp black and white film stock turn this into a fun little film. Also has some unique perspectives as the 50's began to change into the 60's.
