Although even this may *not* be the first product placement in a movie, you 
might check out the 1962 movie "That Touch of Mink" with Doris Day and Cary 
Grant. It features scenes of card sorters and printers and even a computer 
front panel. On the back wall in large letters is the word "UNIVAC". So this 
might at least rate as the first overt example of computer product placement. 
(If anyone knows of an earlier one, please post.)
