The Night of the Following Day is an American 1969 crime drama directed by Hubert Cornfield and starring Marlon Brando, Richard Boone, Rita Moreno and Pamela Franklin. A young heiress is kidnapped by a gang of criminals in France and held hostage in a remote beach house. Her father is ready to pay the ransom, but the tensions grow among the kidnappers, and one of them plans to double-cross others.


The following weapons were used in the film The Night of the Following Day:


Handguns

Webley RIC

In the climactic scene in the bar, the bartender (Jacques Marin) draws a compact revolver that turns out to be a short-barreled Webley RIC. When the bartender fires his gun, it switches to a Harrington & Richardson Premier due to a continuity error.

The bartender draws the revolver from below the counter. The loading gate and the faceted barrel are seen.

Harrington & Richardson Premier

Due to a continuity error, the bartender's revolver switches from a RIC to a top-break nickel plated compact revolver, most likely a Harrington & Richardson Premier. Later in the same scene, same looking revolver (probably the same prop reused) is used by Vi (Rita Moreno).

Thompson M1928A1

When Leer (Richard Boone) ambushes the car of his partners, he is armed with a Thompson M1928A1. Despite the Thompson is seen in distance or unclear, it is still identifiable. When Leer fires, the SMG switches to an MP40 due to a continuity error.
