YES! Based on the true story of Robert Kearns, inventor of the intermittent windshield wiper. I had the same reaction.

Hi .
I see that the date is 2008 , but I would like to post a comment on your post . I seen that movie Flash Of Genus . The movie tells a very good story on Dr. Robert Kerns ,The Inventor Of the Intermittent wiper . I think most people would like the movie . If you like this movie you should see the movie The astronaut Farmer ,With Billy Bob Thorton . I also think that they should make a movie about the man that invented the Fm radio . The Man that Invented it was Edwin H. Armstrong . If you read on Wikipedia You can find out more about him and how he Battled RCA for the patent rights and how RCA used the government to change the Fcc laws . In the end He jumped to his death from his NYC Apartment . Its said that me made the sound audiophile type sound , that you could not tell the difference from the source record or the live air broadcast of the sound .
Well that all I have to say for now , but I thought you mite like to no this maybe already knew this , not no. I no one thing that there's a lot of invention's that where suppressed By many company for fear that the new invention would put them out of business . The one I like the most is the 200 miles a hour carburetor . I here that Company's like GM and the big oil company's are keeping out of the mainstream .
