Show Zany footbaii game highlights Walt Disney's 'Son of FSiibfaer' ' J Flubberized fullback Leon Taylor is hero of zany football foot-ball sequence in Walt Disney's Dis-ney's SON OF FLUBBER, which stars Fred MacMurray, Nancy Olson, Keenan Wynn and Tommy Kirk. Robert Stevenson Ste-venson directed the Buena Vista release from a Bill Walsh screenplay. Moviegoers who rolled in the aisles at the zany antics of the flying basketball team in Walt Disney's hilarious comedy hit, "The Absent Minded Professor" will be in for another pleasant surprise when Disney's laugh-loaded laugh-loaded successor, SON OF FLUBBER hits the theatre screens. This one features a mad, mirthful football contest with players whose suits inflate (like pigskin itself) and send the athletes floating down the field for touchdown after touchdown. Disney has re-assembled the original cast of his earlier success suc-cess Fred MacMurray, Nancy Olson, Ed Wynn, Keenan Wynn, Tommy Kirk and Elliott Reid, plus a roster of star players from professional teams around the country for the football sequence. Johnney Olszewski, one-time star quarterback for the University Uni-versity of California, now with the Detroit Lions, heads the impressive lineup. Jim Steffans (Washington Redskins), Glen Wilder (LA Chargers), Al Car-michael Car-michael (Denver Broncos) and Phil Parslow (LA Chargers) are other professional players who donned greasepaint for this filmmaking interlude under the technical guidance of USC Ail-American Jim Sears, who has played for the Cardinals, Chargers and Denver Broncos. This lineup of pro ball players play-ers comprise the opposition team of Rutland, while in Marked Mar-ked contrast "pro" actors make up the home team of Medifield with Tommy Kirk and Leon Tyler, in particular, getting more bounce to the ounce to everyone's utter amazement. |
