The Good and the Bad (Le bon et les méchants) is a 1976 (filmed 1975) French crime movie directed by Claude Lelouch. In 1930s Jacques (Jacques Dutronc), Simon (Jacques Villeret) and Lola (Marlène Jobert) form a gang that commits several successfull robberies. All attempts of police inspector Bruno Deschamps (Bruno Cremer) to catch the criminals are in vain. When the WWII breaks out, and France is under occupation, the trio continues their criminal activities. Meanwhile Deschamps becomes a hight rank official in the police of the Vichy regime and collaborates with Gestapo. When Lola is arrested and tortured by Deschamps' men, Jacques decides to side with the Resistance.
Note: the movie is intentionally filmed in sepiatone, perhaps in order to give the impression of 1930s-1940s documentary.
The following weapons were used in the film The Good and the Bad (Le bon et les méchants):
When Bruno Deschamps is suspected by German authorities to be a double agent, the German general (Georg Marischka) hands him a pistol with a single cartridge. This is a compact gun with a visible hammer spur. This pistol bears resemblance with the gun that Deschamps uses in 1935 scene, and may be the same prop reused.
Some German soldiers, especially Feldgendarmerie (military police), are armed with MP40 submachine guns. Two unnamed members of Jacques' gang (Michel Fortin and Jean Luisi), disguised as German soldiers, use MP40s during the robbery of the German train that transports precious paintings from Paris.
In the scene in the gang's hideout after the robbery of the train, two submachine guns on the table are MP38s, not MP40s that were used during the robbery.
A German soldier in the night scene on the railway station holds a full-length rifle. Judging by the shape of the rear sight, it may be identified as a Mauser Gewehr 1898.
