Stump the LAMBs Movie Trivia Quiz Answer: Mutiny on the Bounty

Image via Wikipedia

A lone LAMB got the answer to the last question. I'm amazed anyone got it, considering the age of the movie.

Here's the question again:

Name the movie that had one cameraman die when a barge capsized during filming and also had two other crew members nearly killed because the ship they were on while shooting was lost at sea for two days.

The answer:

A barge with 55 crew and staff members capsized while shooting exterior scenes for the 1935 version of Mutiny on the Bounty, killing second-unit assistant cameraman Glenn Strong. Tragedy struck again when an 18-foot replica of the Bounty sailing ship carrying two crew members somehow got away from its tow and floated at sea for two days until a search party found it.

One a lighter note, Jimmy Cagney happened to be sailing his boat around California's Catalina Island while Bounty was being shot. He asked his friend and the movie's director Frank Lloyd if he could be in the film, so Lloyd had Cagney don a sailor's uniform so he could spend the day as an uncredited extra. David Niven also played an extra in the movie.

Here's the winning LAMB:

Here's the next question:

What physical location do 1983's Flashdance and 1986's Back to School have in common? (I'm looking something more specific than the city or state.)

Please include the following information in your response:

1. The location's name
2. Your name
3. Your blog name
4. Your blog URL
