Electric Dreams
“Meet Edgar. He'll make you sing, make you dance, make you laugh, make you cry, make you jealous, make you nuts.”
Miles Harding buys a state-of-the-art computer that starts expressing conscious thought and emotion after an interaction with spilled champagne. Things begin getting out of hand when both Miles and Edgar, the computer, fall in love with beautiful neighbor Madeline Robistat.
