Halls of Montezuma
Poster
Halls of Montezuma Richard Widmark ), with the assistance of a translator (Reginald Gardner ), are sent on a patrol to find prisoners for intel on the battery location. The movie was made with the full cooperation of the United States Marine Corps, and shot on location at Camp Pendleton. The film's title is a reference to the opening line of the Marines' Hymn.
The following weapons appear in the film Halls of Montezuma :
Sidearms Star Model B The Star Model B is the main sidearm of the US Marines, standing in for the Colt M1911A1 (probably because of an inability to acquire .45 caliber blank ammunition). It is used by Lt. Anderson (Richard Widmark ) and Sgt. Zelenko (Neville Brand ). Slattery (Bert Freed ) carries a Star Model B in a shoulder holster.
