That's just what I thought, because I am having real trouble finding it. The
title the professor actually gave me for the film was 'Flinging Lead', but I
could find nothing with that title, so I did a bit of research, and found
references to a film about 'splashing lead', which I thought might be what
this professor was looking for. I probably need to ask her to be more
specific.
Thanks for the comments, though.
