THE ABSENT-MINDED PROFESSOR
January 27, 2016  | By David Bianculli

TCM, 8:00 p.m. ET

 

This Disney movie came out in 1961, when I was a kid, and the idea of a professor who had invented an anti-gravity substance – flubber – was not only credible, but one of the coolest things to imagine. Sneakers made of Flubber? Car tires? How high could you go? And, in this movie, that’s pretty much the plot. And though I haven’t seen this film since I was 7, I’m interested in giving it a second look. Fred MacMurray stars.
