 How real is this? - Crankcase
This is a question that's only going to be answerable by Old Computer Salts who have access to Amazon Prime, and also are willing to endure two minutes of the Worst Movie Ever Made.

If you fit that category, then:

Could you watch, on Amazon Prime, the movie Doll Squad from minute 2:40 in to 4:40 - the computer room sequence? Right near the start, obviously, ends with the opening credit sequence.

The thing is, to me the kit looks real, as if it would all go together, and amazingly, the actor (barring the script) looks as though he's pushing the right buttons on the right kit in the right sequence.

Was this a real computer room and he really did have a clue, or is it a movie conglomeration of old bits and he's just good at pressing knobs?

The film was made in 1973, and in this sequence there's a beefy screen with IBM written on it.

No reason, just interested.

PS the film is utterly dire, and I liked it almost as much as Beyond Atlantis, also on Prime and also "starring" that well known actress, Leigh Christian.
