Gorky Park is a movie with a Luger in it. It is not a war movie, but a murder mystery from the early eighties set in Moscow. It starred Wiliam Hurt and Lee Marvin, and I recall it as quite a good movie.

Renko, the William Hurt character, borrowed a Luger from a friend who cautioned him that it might not shoot straight or even work as it was officially issued to him in his capacity as public defender. It of course functions well enough to send the one of the corrupt bad guys to a higher court.

I also recall that some of old Alfred Hitchcock TV movies had Lugers in them on occassion, but I can't begin to recall the names of any of the episodes.

Best regards,

Bob
