Biopic of Dr. Kearns , the man who invented the intermittent wiper on automobiles. Real story of a Professor and an part-time inventor who wages long-term war with a huge firm for his patent rights. An inspirational character which is to be shown to young minds with little hope. There is a tiny problem with the lead characterization in the movie , imo. Dr. Kearns wasn't made too lovable to the audience esp. the way he denied bribes from Ford and not taking care of the family. Was shown self-centered. The actors did a fine job esp. the superb performance by the lead actor. The bottom line is that the movie has a straight-forward screenplay (little dull) and "without sex or violence" and with minimal profanity. Thus can be seen with kids.
