I don't think I ever said it was a big film. It was a film about a
young man who leaves his small town for the big city and eventually
saves the town from dying of thirst. It has some action, but the story
is, how should I say this?, rather ordinary.=20

Oh hell, the southwestern US states, various Native American groups and
Mexico have been legally fighting over the water from the Colorado River
for _decades_.

Which is weird. Shouldn't the free market have responded to scarcity
by providing an alternative to water?

According to Dave Allen it would be champagne, but I can't find the clip, I'm fairly sure it was from "Dave Allen in Australia"...
So, a bloke is crawing across the desert, "Water, water, water, ...", he gasps.
In the distance another bloke appears, also crawling across the desert, but towards the first bloke.
As the second blokes nears, it becomes apparent that he is in Morning Dress, and as he passes, is heard to be gasping, "Champagne, champagne, champagne, ...".
