On TCM recently there was a Farley Granger/Robt. Walker movie about a tennis player (Granger) whose wife was killed by Walker. Granger was supposed to kill Walker's father in return with "this old Luger I bought in a pawn shop."

Unfortunately, try as I might, I can't recall the title.

The second one I can. It was "Something of Value." Rock Hudson fought Mau Maus in Kenya and Sidney Poitier, his childhood friend, was a Mau Mau leader. Poitier carried a Luger.

Alfred Hitchcock's "Strangers On A Train" (1951)
