Après lui, le déluge
Stevenson did episodes of Disney's "Zorro", then directed a film about Ireland, "Darby O'Gill and the Little People" (1959), and an adaptation of "Kidnapped" (1960). He had a commercial success with the comedy "The Absent-Minded Professor" (1961) and the adventure film "In Search of the Castaways" (1962). "Son of Flubber" (1963) was a popular sequel to "The Absent-Minded Professor", and "The Misadventures of Merlin Jones" (1964), a teen comedy, was an unexpected hit, leading to a sequel, "The Monkey's Uncle" (1965).
