The Computer Wore Tennis Shoes

(1969)Directed by Robert Butler91 min · GComedy, Family, Drama
“Programmed for laughs!”

Dexter Riley (Kurt Russell), the one student at Medfield College the dean can't keep out of trouble, gets an electric shock while fixing a donated computer and wakes up remembering everything he reads. The machine came from the local businessman A.J. Arno (Cesar Romero), and Dexter now carries its stored files in his head. Robert Butler directs it for Walt Disney Productions as a plain, bright-colored comedy, with Joe Flynn as the flustered Dean Higgins.
