The Computer Wore Tennis Shoes
1969
Some college students manage to persuade the town's big businessman, A. J. Arno, to donate a computer to their college. When the problem- student, Dexter Riley, tries to fix the computer, he gets an electric shock and his brain turns to a computer; now he remembers everything he reads. Unfortunately, he also remembers information which was in the computer's memory, like Arno's illegal businesses..

1960s Disney ends with a good, just not exceptional, film. It has been a long, up and down decade from the studio, with most falling under that category or lower.
<em>'The Computer Wore Tennis Shoes'</em> entertains to a satisfactory degree, with Kurt Russell leading brightly as Dexter. The rest of the cast aren't all that remarkable, even if there are a load of faces I recognise from other things. If I had to choose the most noteworthy, they would be Cesar Romero (Arno) & William Schallert (Quigley).
The plot is enjoyable, it's just as bonkers as you'd expect given it's in a similar vein to films like 1961's <em>'The Absent-Minded Professor'</em>. I'd say it's better executed than that Flubber premise. There's also a cool chase sequence in this, too.
I'm curious to see where the sequels head. see more
