Movie Lugers List--Spring 2006

Mister Sunshine · 09-26-2016, 05:00 PM

I have read every page and I don't remember seeing it if I did, but excuse me. The movie KISS of DEATH which came out in 1947 I believe. As the story goes, Victor Mature gets out of prison and the police ask him to infiltrate a gang headed by his old friend Richard Widmark, his first movie by the way. When he is told by a gang member to pick a gun in this closet full of side arms, he spots a Luger in a shoulder holster and he says, "a Luger" and starts to take it when the other gang member tells him, it's the boss's gun, pick another one. I don't remember if the Luger is in other scenes but I am sure it is. I watch a lot of British mysteries on TV and they often have scenes where the bad guy uses a Luger and they treat it terribly. In one scene they drop it from a two story walkway on to the driveway. I hope it's a reproduction. In the movie TOM HORN, the sheriff tells the recorder he will protect him, he says, I even have an automatic, one of those new German jobs but I don't think the pistol is ever shown. If it was I have forgotten the scene .
