The Absent-Minded Professor
"The Absent-Minded Professor" has been remade as a 1997 theatrical film titled "Flubber," with Robin Williams as the renamed Prof. "Philip" Brainard, with Marcia Gay Harden as his love interest, Dr. Sara Jean Reynolds. (Nancy Olson appears in a cameo.) Neither the Anderson films nor the 1997 remake was as highly regarded as the original, but the Robin Williams version was still a considerable success. Both remakes were made in color.
