That's what is in the movie, but wasn't the actual possible plan to do
a figure 8 with a Gemini around the moon, launched with a Titan III?

...IIRC, the plan called for two Titan II launches - one with a
Gemini, one with an uprated Centaur with an ADTA on the end...

There were a number of such plans, using a variety of upper stages and
launchers. The one included as an appendix in Apogee's Gemini 12 book,
for example, uses a Titan IIIC to launch a modified Transtage, plus the
usual Titan II to launch a slightly modified Gemini.
