This time we picked up a very hard to find story, “A Situation of Gravity,” by Samuel W. Taylor, which was adapted into the 1961 movie The Absent-Minded Professor and the 1996 remake Flubber.

The story was originally published in the May 22, 1943 issue of Liberty magazine. We couldn’t find that. It was also anthologized in Taylor’s book Take My Advice, Mr. President. We also couldn’t find that. But one of our local librarians traced us down a scan of the story from the anthology. Let us know if you have an easier time finding it. If not, enjoy the episode without the reading!

Rankings!

James: Story/1996 movie/1961 movie

Colin: 1961 movie/1996 movie/Story

Seth: 1961 movie/Story/1996 movie

Let us know if you were able to find the story. It’s truly difficult to find.
