Senso '45 (released in USA under the original title and in UK and some other countries as Black Angel) is a 2002 Italian romantic drama directed by Tinto Brass and starring Anna Galiena and Gabriel Garko. The movie is a loosely based on the novel Senso (1882) by Camillo Boito, being a second screen adaptation of the original novel after Luchino Visconti's 1954 film. Unlike the novel and Visconti's film, in this version the story is set in Nazi-controlled North Italy in March 1945. Livia Mazzoni, the wife of high rank Fascist official, goes to Venice to meet her lover, SS officer Helmut Schultz.
The movie is shot partially in color and partially in B&W.
The following weapons were used in the film Senso '45:
In a scene that depicts the filming of a movie Tradimento ("Treachery"), an actor in the role of jealous husband (Lele Masiol) uses a Bodeo M1889 to "kill" his unfaithful wife and her lover and "shoot himself".
Lieutenant (to be precise, SS Obersturmfuhrer) Helmut Schultz (Gabriel Garko) carries a Walther P38 in several scenes. His pistol is also seen in hands of Livia Mazzoni (Anna Galiena). In the said scene in Venetian theater, the leader of Resistance group carries a holster for P38; it's hard to say if there is a pistol inside.
One more member of the Resistance in the said scene in Venetian theater is armed with a Beretta M1934 pistol. In another scene an SS Hauptsturmfuhrer carries a Beretta M1934 in holster.
When Italian partisans stop the car of Venetian lawyer Ugo Oggiano (Franco Branciaroli), their commander (uncredited) is armed with a Mauser C96. Closeups allow to identify the exact model as "Wartime Commercial".
A group of Blackshirts of Milizia Volontaria per la Sicurezza Nazionale (MVSN, "Voluntary Militia for National Security") in raid on Venetian streets carry Beretta Model 38A submachine guns.
One of the partisans is armed with a Carcano short rifle. The lenth of the gun, position of sling swivels and visible bayonet lug allow to identify the exact model as Carcano M91 TS Modificato (Carcano M91/24 is also possible but seems less likely).
One of the partisans is armed with a triple barreled combination gun with two side by side shotgun barrels and the third, relatively thin barrel below.
A machine gun, seen at the background in one scene, looks similar to Bergmann MG 15nA but it's too vague.

This machine gun lacks carry handle over the barrel that was used on MG 15nA but this piece was removable.
Scotti-Isotta-Fraschini 20/70 Modello 1939/1941
A 20mm AA autocannon Scotti-Isotta-Fraschini 20/70 (often referred as 20/77 after the German measurement of its barrel length) is seen on a Venetian street.
