Indeed, L.B.J. was so often out of the U.S. that speculation inevitably arose that J.F.K. was just trying to keep him out of the White House's way. Things got to the point where Kennedy recently had to deny at a press conference that he was planning to "dump" Lyndon...
Journalists have always taken particular satisfaction in speculating about Nixon-and most of the current Nixon talk is journalistic speculation. But it got some extra impetus through an offhand remark by the senior Republican who, according to those same journalists, for so long wanted to "dump Nixon."

Escape from Colditz, A British film of the early fifties, had a scene in which two escapees stowed away on a dump truck only to be dumped later in the middle of their prison compound. You'll find that one in Elusive Corporal, too. Renoir even lifts a character from Grand Illusion--the affectionate German peasant woman...
