VHS : Son Of Flubber [1963]
I remember seeing both this film and 'The Absent Minded Professor' in black and white at the cinema when I was a kid, and I never forgot how funny they were. The earlier one has just been shown an TV, and I was pleasantly surprised to see it had been colourised, and was just as enjoyable for me after all these years. Sadly, it appears that one is not available to buy on region 2 through Amazon at the moment but this one, 'The Son of Flubber' is.

I really wanted to see this one in a colourised version too if possible but, having searched the web, was unable to confirm that this film had ever been given that treatment.

VHS : All In A Night's Work [1961]
Tony Ryder (Dean Martin) never took a real interest in his uncles publishing business until his uncle died. Now the rest of the board does not know what to expect. Luckily it looks like Tony is able to carry of the moral tradition of the magazine.

There is just one hitch, turns out the hotel detective reports that Uncle Rider died with a smile on his face and a woman clad in a towel was scene leaving the room. The only clue to her identity is an earring with the Chinese symbol for good.

Tony and the board brace themselves knowing that they are ripe for the picking (black mail) by this mysterious woman. If only they could find her and someone foil the plot.

This film was a long time coming let alone on ... Read More:
