In his 1999 Academy Award acceptance speech for Best Supporting Actor in the movie, Affliction, James Coburn says "Thanks to all the people up in Mex... er, Santa Barbara where I'm working on a thing called Atticus. Thank you Gang, for giving me Monday off" i.e., so he could attend the Oscar ceremony. His slip of the tongue re the location is because Santa Barbara was standing in for Mexico, and re the movie's title was either because the name of his character was Atticus and he said that instead of the correct title, or because that was the working title of the TV movie he was shooting at the time: Missing Pieces.
