This is one of the locations used in "ABCDEFG". (The movie) "ABCDEFG" was filmed here. _________ Note: If a movie is set in the Sahara Desert, either it is made to look like it takes place in the Sahara by means of sets in a studio (and filmed in the studio) or it is actually filmed on location in the Sahara.

Hi, Jim,
This didn't quite ring true with me. Google seems to confirm my suspicions.
The concensus is that it simply means "away from the studio."
That is, a story set in the Saraha could be filmed in the studio, or "on location" in the Mo
