A French flag flies above the abandoned Paramount Studios' Fort Zinderneuf set near Yuma, where H. Billy Miller and Robert Wade filmed a parody of "Beau Geste." (The exact location is an archeological dig and may not be disclosed.) Wade's fraternity Sigma Lambda sponsored the film for three showings at San Diego State.
