HALLS OF MONTEZUMA - 1950 film staring Richard Widmark as Lieutenant Anderson the Platoon Leader.
Takes place on some un-named Pacific Island held by the Japanese.
One of the members of the platoon Pvt. "Pretty Boy" Riley played by actor Skip Homeier has a Luger he owned in civilian life (as shown in flashbacks) that he brought with him. He keeps twirling it much to the displeasure of Pvt. Slattery played by actor Bert Freed.
In the scene where they are in a foxhole together Slattery grabs the Luger and throws it out in the killing zone in front of the position
and Pretty Boy goes nuts.
Happy Holidays all
Mike
