Great watch, would watch again, and can recommend, if you can stand a black and white movie.
(I know I've watch this before, but I couldn't remember anything past that there is an Absent-Minded Professor, so this was basically a fresh watch)
I was really blown away to see the quality of a movie from 1961 in 2020. We have traded a lot of substance for technology, or (if you want to see this way) they had to try a lot harder because they didn't have the option to lean on tech.
Great, if hokey, performances all around, and they did a great job of incorporating flubber activated motions into the the every day affairs. In particular, this was some of the best wire-work I've ever seen, there was only one scene where I caught it, and even that was a shadow.
This was a great story of academia versus industry, with capitalism being the villain, so it's good to see it as far back as 1961.
As said and done this was a fun watch with a clever premise.
