It was on my snapple cap. I'll give it a bit til I laugh at all your bad responses and then tell you the answer
NO FAIR GOOGLING IT (or using any other search engines). That's cheating and I hope maggots devour your brain while you sleep if you cheat!

34. The movie "Lilith" made in 1962 has jousting in it |
|
The jousting scenes were filmed in Poolesville, Md. The rest of the film was made in Rockville, Md. One of Warren Beatty's first films as an actor.
