Lugers in Movies

Don't know if these have been mentioned:

(1)"Patient in Room 18"; in this 1938 Warner Bros. do of a Mignon Eberhart mystery, the evil proprietor of a private hospital, faced with disclosure, reaches into his desk drawer [FULL SCREEN OF LUGER], fires it at the hero but, nevertheless, ultimately gets his just reward. Dead, dead, dead, bad proprietor. (credit my wife who loves old detective flicks).

(2) "Hannibal Brooks"; in this 1969 comedy/drama Oliver Reed escapes from a Nazi stalag leading an elephant over the Alps to Switzerland. The evil proprietor of a private...oops, I meant the evil SS colonel...pulls his Luger from under his suit jacket and wings poor Oliver Reed in the shoulder but gets HIS just reward when Oliver's elephant pulls down the Nazi observation tower down over him. Dead, dead, dead, bad Nazi. (credit me; I love old elephant flicks--old flicks about elephants, that is).
