'''''Texas Across the River''''' is | '''''Texas Across the River''''' is a 1966 American comedy Western movie directed by Michael Gordon. In 1845 Louisiana, the wedding of Spanish nobleman Don Andrea Baldazar ([[Alain Delon]]) and local belle Phoebe Ann Naylor (Rosemary Forsyth) is planned. But after another of Phoebe Ann's suitors dies due to an accident, Andrea is falsely accused of murder. He has to flee to Texas, not yet a US state, where Phoebe Ann will join him. In Texas, Andrea meets trek guide Sam Hollis (Dean Martin), and together they undergo numerous adventures, until a happy end for both men, Phoebe Ann, and Indian maiden Lonetta (Tina Aumont) whom Sam and Andrea saved. | ||

Texas Across the River is a 1966 American comedy Western movie directed by Michael Gordon. In 1845 Louisiana, the wedding of Spanish nobleman Don Andrea Baldazar (Alain Delon) and local belle Phoebe Ann Naylor (Rosemary Forsyth) is planned. But after another of Phoebe Ann's suitors dies due to an accident, Andrea is falsely accused of murder. He has to flee to Texas, not yet a US state, where Phoebe Ann will join him. In Texas, Andrea meets trek guide Sam Hollis (Dean Martin), and together they undergo numerous adventures, until a happy end for both men, Phoebe Ann, and Indian maiden Lonetta (Tina Aumont) whom Sam and Andrea saved.
The following weapons were used in the film Texas Across the River:
Revolvers
In several scenes, Sam Hollis' Indian companion Kronk (Joey Bishop) carries a Colt 1851 Navy with a cartridge conversion (definitely a modern replica). Later, he gives his revolver to Don Andrea Baldasar (Alain Delon) who needs a gun for a duel with Sam. It's worth noting that all revolvers in the film are anachronisms for 1845.
Colt 1860 Army (Richards Conversion)
In most scenes, Sam Hollis (Dean Martin) carries a Colt 1860 (Richards Conversion); due to continuity errors in several scenes this revolver is substituted with a different version of the Colt 1860, a Remington 1858, and a visually modified Single Action Army.
Colt 1860 Army (Cartridge Conversion)
As a result of a continuity error, Sam Hollis (Dean Martin) holds a Colt 1860 Army revolver during the confrontation with two Comanches (in previous scenes he is seen with a Colt 1860 (Richards Conversion) or a Remington 1858). It turns out to be a cartridge version, but not a Richards or Richards-Mason conversion. A similar looking revolver, except for the lack of the lever, is seen in hands of a Texan townsman.
Remington 1858 New Army (Cartridge Conversion)
In most scenes, Kronk (Joey Bishop) is armed with a Remington 1858 New Army (Cartridge Conversion) revolver; due to continuity errors in several scenes this revolver is substituted with a Colt 1851. In one scene, Sam Hollis (Dean Martin) holds a Remington instead of his usual Colt 1860. A Remington 1858 is also seen in hands of a Texan townsman.
Single Action Army Cavalry Model (Mocked Up as Remington 1858 New Army)
In one scene, Sam Hollis (Dean Martin) and Kronk (Joey Bishop) use Single Action Army revolvers, visually modified to resemble the Remington 1858 New Army with fake Remington cylinder rod. Similar mockups were often used in Western movies.
Pistols
M1842 Dragoon's Percussion Cap Pistol
US Cavalry Capt. Rodney Stimpson (Peter Graves) holds a M1842 Dragoon's pistol in the opening scene at the Naylor estate in Louisiana.
Percussion Cap Pistol
In one scene two Percussion Cap Pistols are seen in hands of Sam Hollis (Dean Martin). A pistol of a different model is hidden in a bouquet of flowers that Lonetta (Tina Aumont) tries to pass to an arrested Andrea.
Rifles
Springfield Model 1873 Trapdoor
Some Comanches are armed with Springfield Model 1873 Trapdoor rifles.
Trapdoor Springfield Rifle (visually modified as percussion cap rifles)
Trapdoor Springfield Rifles, fitted with long forearms and custom buttstocks to resemble Hawken rifles or some other similar hunting gun, are used in several scenes, seen in hands of Kronk (Joey Bishop) and some townspeople.
Trapdoor Springfield Rifle (visually modified as percussion cap carbine)
Capt. Stimpson's cavalrymen are armed with Trapdoor Springfield Rifles with shortened barrels, resembling Enfield Pattern 1856 Cavalry Carbines.
Percussion Cap Rifles
Several versions of percussion cap rifles are used by Andrea (Alain Delon), Sam (Dean Martin), and Yellow Knife (Linden Chiles), the son of Comanche war chief Iron Jacket.
Andrea's Percussion Cap Rifle
In most scenes Andrea carries a percussion cap rifle with the full-length handguard, similar to the one of a Jaeger Rifle.
When Andrea rides to save Lonetta, he holds a different long gun, also with a percussion cap lock but with longer barrel and with a brass patchbox on the buttstock.
Sam's Percussion Cap Rifle
Sam lends his rifle to Andrea during the shooting contest when Andrea runs out of ammunition for his own gun. Sam is later seen with this rifle in the night scene.
