Lugers in Movies
Watched "The Train" in B&W today. I really liked the suspense and the misery that ol Burt Lanchaster (God rest his soul) gave the NAZIs that were trying to steel all this french art to Germany at the end of the war, lots of MP-40 fire and a few K98s and a small caliber pistol was used by a German officer and then BL cut him down with the MP. I liked this one much better than Rogue Male but overall I would rate it 7.5 on a 10 scale. The scene with BL running (and he was a pretty athletic actor) across a bridge and the German shooting at him with an MP-40 was fast but excellent watching those bullets zip and zigging across the steel in the bridge (and one of them hit BL in the leg) was really chilling! Anyway no Lugers in this one, unless it was in the section I fell asleep in) lol. Thor
