Director: Robert Stevenson
Cast: Fred MacMurray, Nancy Olson, Keenan Wynn, Tommy Kirk, Leon Ames, Elliott Reid, Edward Andrews
A silly but endearing children's film about Professor Brainard who invents Flubber (a.k.a flying rubber) but neglects his girfriend. This is good fun for the entire family and its special effects still look pretty decent. Followed by Son of Flubber and remade as Flubber 35 years later.
