 Dear Brigitte
comment
Dear Brigitte is a 1965 American comedy film directed by Henry Koster.Philosophy professor Robert Leaf (James Stewart) is appalled at his university's growing preference for funding scientific endeavors at the expense of the arts. He lives in a houseboat with his wife Vina (Glynis Johns) and their children Pandora (Cindy Carol) and Erasmus (Bill Mumy); Erasmus adds to Robert's troubles, as he lacks talent for the arts, but is a mathematical genius. While the Leaf family ponders what to make of all this, Erasmus himself could care less, being more focused on writing letters to his crush, Brigitte Bardot.

comment
All Psychology Is Freudian: Erasmus' psychologist Dr. Volker is German, has a Freudian Couch and guesses Erasmus hates his father because he's married to his mother (Erasmus calmly denies that).

comment
Hard on Soft Science: Inverted. Robert is a philosophy professor who has published poetry and dabbles in music, and loathes the hard sciences and the extra focus that his university is putting on them.

comment
Good with Numbers: Erasmus is a math prodigy capable of outpacing supercomputers. His talent makes the hard sciences-hating Robert despair, but it's also what allows Robert to start the Leaf Foundation to fund liberal arts scholarships, as Erasmus can calculate horse racing results and make a killing off it.

comment
Houseboat Hero: The Leaf family lives on a boat. It makes sense for such an artistic family and they have other bohemian neighbors with the same type of lodging, but it's also because Robert is too strapped for cash to afford a real house, as Pandora bemoans in one scene.
