Movie: The Computer Wore Tennis Shoes (1969)
Tagline: Programmed for laughs!
Trivia: The “campus” shown outside the window of the Dean’s office is actually a photograph of buildings in the Walt Disney Studios. This very same backdrop was used during the run of the “Disneyland” television show for scenes shot on the set that served as Walt Disney’s “office” when he hosted segments of the program. One oddity is that the building seen in the backdrop was actually the one that housed the real location of Walt’s office.
Goofs: Continuity: When Pete and Annie are reviewing the “Applejack” sequence on their reel to reel tape recorder, the reels change speed between the close-ups and medium shots.
“Some college students manage to persuade the town’s big businessman, A. J. Arno, to donate a computer to their college. When the problem- student, Dexter Riley, tries to fix the computer, he gets an electric shock and his brain turns to a computer; now he remembers everything he reads. Unfortunately, he also remembers information which was in the computer’s memory, like the illegal business Arno is involved in. Written by Krister Walfridsson <cato@df.lth.se>”
