More movies
Here are a few of the movies featuring Lugers which I have gathered recently from this board:
Of Mice and Men
The Great Escape
The Great Race
The Notorious Landlady
Sergeant York
The Detective
The Maltese Falcon
Teenagers from Outer Space
Anatomy of a Murder (with a starring role as the murder weapon)
Schindler's List
Son of Frankenstein (at least a Luger-shaped holster)
I also believe that Lugers were featured in some weird movie with Doug McClure on a German sub from WWI fighting dinosaurs at the South Pole and in a film with John Wayne portraying a courageous German freighter captain trying to get back home after the war broke out.
"Schindler's List" showed Lugers being used to commit acts of atrocity and certainly does not bring any glory to the subject of our hobby; unfortunately, it is not a work of fiction.
Anyone else have more to add to this list? I am sure that there must be dozens of WW1 and WW2 movies with them, but I have not included any which I do not recall having a confirmed sighting.
Incidentally, for you C96 and P38 fans, the Star War movies use these extensively as the framework for the various blasters and ray guns.
