Kiss of Death is a 1947 noir thriller notable for being the screen debut of Richard Widmark, who co-stars as the psychopathic mob killer Tommy Udo. Victor Mature stars as Nick Bianco, an armed robber who gets paroled by assistant district attorney Louis D'Angelo (Brian Donlevy) under the condition that he finds information to build a case against Udo, a dangerous situation that jeopardizes Nick's idyllic post-prison life with his new wife Nettie (Coleen Gray) and his two children.
The following weapons were used in the film Kiss of Death:
Handguns
Colt Detective Special
A Colt Detective Special with a square grip is prominently featured during the opening titles. Nick Bianco (Victor Mature) keeps a Detective Special at home, though he's a convicted felon so ADA Louis D'Angelo (Brian Donlevy) briefly takes it when arresting Nick for violating his parole by possessing it.
Smith & Wesson Military & Police Revolver
An NYPD officer wounds Nick with a shot from his "pre-Model 10" Smith & Wesson Military & Police revolver after Nick's attempted jewel heist on Christmas Eve.
M1911A1
Tommy Udo (Richard Widmark) fires an M1911A1 during the film's climax.
