> **[Flash of Genius (2008)](https://www.imdb.com/title/tt1054588/)** > > Directed by Marc Abraham. With Greg Kinnear, Lauren Graham, Alan Alda, Tim Eddis. Robert Kearns takes on the Detroit automakers who he claims stole his idea for the intermittent windshield wiper. Seen the advertisements today. Wondered what the hell he invented for the car companies. Found a better trailer that actually says Intermittent Wiper 🤣 [ame=“[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t2N9ta1Hmiw](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t2N9ta1Hmiw)”]YouTube - Flash of Genius (2008) Movie Trailer[/ame] ---
