Seventh Heaven is a 1937 American movie directed by Henry King. Parisian canal worker Chico is an avowed and thus criticized atheist but has his heart in the right place. That's why he rescues young girl Diane when she's asked to perform animation duties and worse at her brutish sister's bar and gets beaten up by her. The two spend more time together and some of Chico's optimism rubs off on Diane, who becomes increasingly confident, and Chico also gets a job as a street cleaner and slowly rises up the ranks. But World War I approaches and threatens to tear the couple apart.
This film is a remake of the 1927 silent film of the same name and is also based as an original work on the play of the same name by Melville Barker.
The following weapons were used in the film Seventh Heaven:
Rifles
Berthier Mle. 1907/15
Chico (James Stewart), Gobin (Victor Kilian), and other French soldiers are armed with Berthier Mle 1907-15 rifles.
Lebel Mle. 1886
In some scenes, French soldiers are seen with Lebel 1886 rifles. These scenes are rather WWI newsreels and taken from other movies.
Mauser Gewehr 1898
An abandoned Gewehr 1898 is seen stuck in the wall of a trench.
Trivia
Footage
During the footage of the war, many scenes of the 1932 French movie Wooden Crosses are shown.
