San Diego State College student Folk is on the set during filming of the Bob Wade-H. Billy Miller parody of "Beau Geste." This was filmed at the same location as the Paramount Studios movie, on the abandoned set of Fort Zinderneuf in the desert near Yuma. (The exact location is an archeological dig and may not be disclosed.) Folk's fraternity Sigma Lambda sponsored the movie's showing at the College.
