The review of this Movie prepared by Chris Johnson
Ned Brainard (MacMurray) is a bumbling chemistry professor at the small town college of Medfield. He is so absent-minded he forgets to show up at his wedding -- three times! -- so fiancee Betsy Carlisle (Olson) starts seeing another prof. Meanwhile, Brainard stumbles on a fabulous invention, flying rubber, which gains energy whenever it strikes a solid surface, and he calls it "flubber." It creates shoes that can enable the wearer to jump to amazing heights, and allows Brainard to fly his old Model T. The basketball team's star player, Biff Hawk, has gotten poor grades from Brainard and so he is off the team, which is losing badly to rival Rutland College. Flubber comes to the rescue, naturally. The U.S. military isn't interested in the invention, but Biff's father, the unscrupulous Alonzo Hawk, who wants to develop housing on the campus, schemes to steal the invention. All comes out well, of course, in this silly Disney picture helmed by director Robert Stevenson and writer Bill Walsh, who were responsible for many later hits, including "Mary Poppins," "That Darn Cat," "The Love Bug," and "Bedknobs and Broomsticks."
