Perhaps a good place to do further research?:

"Linked to the project Maps in Literature is the initiative Maps in
movies and TV. This project is aimed to build a database of the shots
that show maps from movies and television fiction programs from all the
world. We leave out of the database all those productions, like
documentaries, news, learning material, etc. that do not belong to the
genre of fiction. The quotations are reported in the movie's original
language. Each quotation within a film is separated (if quotations are
more than one) from the other by a short image. For every movie we have
always made a complete examination, if not differently indicated.
Quotations are accessible in mp4 format for viewing and downloading;
many of them are also accessible through YouTube. Quotations are indexed
in a catalog accessible here (ordered by movie title).
The project is coordinated by Giacomo Andreucci, post-doc researcher at
the University of Bologna, Italy ( [log in to unmask] ) and is
open to every suggestion and contribution."

We were talking recently in my library about movies with maps as
the plot centerpiece, and I remember seeing an old B&W movie concerning
the murder of a cartographer in Africa, made in the 1950s or so. The
cartographer had noted the river, used as a national border, had changed
its course. The results were that a lucrative mine had been transferred
from one country to another, and to prevent anyone from knowing that,
the mine owner killed the map maker.
Is anyone on the list familiar with this film, and can give me a
title?
