The Crook (French title: Le Voyou) is a 1970 crime film by Claude Lelouch. The plot follows Simon 'the Swiss' Duroc as he escapes from prison, kidnaps the child of a bank worker and deceives friend and foe alike as he tries to escape France with one million American dollars.
The following weapons were used in the film The Crook (Le Voyou):
M1A1 Thompson
M1A1 Thompsons with drum magazines and foregrips are held and used by the Dancing Gangster in the opening "Le Voyou" musical.
FN Model 22
An FN Model 22 is the preferred weapon of Charles (Charles Gérard), Simon's closest ally. He uses it to disable the car of French detectives chasing him and Simon's fiancée. Simon briefly holds one when shopping for a gun.
Smith & Wesson Model 36
A Smith & Wesson Model 36 is bought by Simon (Jean-Louis Trintignant, in his second role in a Claude Lelouch film) and used throughout the entire movie. It's worth noting that Simon loads blank cartridges in the revolver in the one scene where he actually fires it.
M1911A1
Bill the arms dealer (Amidou) unloads a M1911A1 when he is selling guns to Simon. Another 1911 is used by Charles when he and Simon force Mr. Galloise to write a confession to the kidnapping of his son.
