Packet 7: Tossup 9
A reworking of a film set in this country allegedly made Salvador Dali knock over a projector and yell, “He stole my dreams!” Joseph Cornell spliced a Universal movie presumably set in this country with footage of an eclipse to make the surreal collage film Rose Hobart. Fred MacMurray races against a pirate captain to find a cache of diamonds in a movie set in this country and titled for a Fair Wind. The producers of a 1968 (*) disaster movie set in this country infamously changed its title to a geographic inaccuracy in order to sound more exotic; that film set in this country stars Maximilian Schell as a steamer captain caught near a volcanic eruption. For 10 points, what country is the setting of Krakatoa, East of Java? ■END■
ANSWER: Indonesia [accept Dutch East Indies] (The movies are Krakatoa, East of Java, Fair Wind to Java, East of Borneo, and East of Sumatra.)
