Fred MacMurray stars in this double-feature of two of Disney's most popular live-action comedies from the 1960's. The Absent Minded Professor (Robert Stevenson, USA, 1961, 97 mins.) has the actor portraying Professor Ned Brainard, the inventor of flying rubber (or "flubber"), a substance capable of giving items and incredibly energetic bounce. Unfortunately, the professor finds no buyers, although one corrupt businessman (Keenan Wynn) is quite interested in stealing it. The sequel, Son of Flubber (Robert Stevenson , USA, 1963, 100 mins.), has the harried professor fending off huge IRS tax bills for the invention, although he and the college have not made a cent from flubber and the substance is deemed top secret by The Pentagon. Can his newly invented "flubbergas" solve his problems? Robert Stevenson---USA---1961/1963---197 mins.
