Thanks for clarifying, Frank. Any idea which Errol Flynn movie it was? I'm preparing to do a talk on celestial navigation at my astronomy club and was hoping to start by showing a clip of how it's misrepresented in the movies. Any scene where the actor reads lat/long directly off the sextant would be perfect!
