©1961
studio: Walt Disney Home Video
production company: Walt Disney Productions
dir: Robert Stevenson
cast: Fred MacMurray, Nancy Olson, Keenan Wynn, Tommy kirk, Leon Ames, Alliott Reid, Edward Andrews, David Lewis, Jack Mullaney, Belle Montrose, Wally Brown, Wally Boag, Don Ross, Forrest Lewis, James Westerfield
screenplay: Bill Walsh, story: Samuel W. Taylor
B&W
A college professor invents an anti-gravity goo which he calls "Flubber." He hopes to do good for mankind with his invention, but a greedy businessman tries to steal the secret, and the U.S. military minds think the professor is a kook.
What a fun movie. This is the kind of film that is just plain fun, despite it's wacky plot. A professor who is so absent-minded he forgets to attend his own wedding (for the third time!)? A woman who has been stood-up twice by the absent-minded professor doesn't send anyone to his home to fetch him before his wedding? An anti-gravity goo that increases it's height with each bounce and yet unsuspecting basketball players are able to control their own bounces, but the greedy business man is not?
These are all trivial matters. It's a family film that the kids laugh at and the parents can play without fear of any inappropriate words or actions.
Watch it and enjoy.
