The Absent-Minded Professor (1:37) 1961
I was ten years old when this black and white film hit the big screen. I remember seeing this movie at a Hagerstown, MD drive-in theater with my family. And I absolutely loved it. Fred McMurray plays the absent-minded chemistry professor who accidentally discovers flubber, a substance which bounces higher and higher with each bounce. Professor Brainard has difficulty commercially promoting his new substance so he puts flubber on the bottom of each basketball players' sneakers. During the next game, each player jumps higher scoring more points and winning the game. Brainard has adventures and misadventures including winning back the woman who is the love of his life. In its time, was a great family movie. Todau it remains a classic family movie.
