The Night of the Following Day is an American 1969 crime drama directed by Hubert Cornfield and starring Marlon Brando, Richard Boone, Rita Moreno and Pamela Franklin. A young heiress is kidnapped by a gang of criminals in France and held hostage in a remote beach house. Her father is ready to pay the ransom, but the tensions grow among the kidnappers, and one of them plans to double-cross others.


The following weapons were used in the film The Night of the Following Day:


Handguns

Webley RIC

In the climactic scene in the bar, the bartender (Jacques Marin) draws a compact revolver that turns out to be a short-barreled Webley RIC. When the bartender fires his gun, it switches to a Harrington & Richardson Premier due to a continuity error.

Harrington & Richardson Premier

Due to a continuity error, the bartender's (Jacques Marin) revolver switches from a RIC to a top-break nickel plated compact revolver, most likely a Harrington & Richardson Premier. Later in the same scene, same looking revolver (probably the same prop reused) is used by Vi (Rita Moreno).
