I believe Beau Geste (1939) should come off the list. Hollywood's Legions appeared well equipped with Berthier rifles (maybe even made by Remington?).

At least the Desert marauders appear to have 'Springfield Jezails' fabricated from trapdoor rifles?

Laurel and Hardy had Berthiers, too!


Ha HA!  You have to look a bit sharper, Young Jedi.  Right at the end of the movie where the three are about to make the run down the sand dune the movie cuts into a studio insert that shows one of them holding a, TA DA, Krag rifle.  The scene runs about five seconds.  So the sequence is outside shot, inside stage shot, then continuation of outside shot.  There is a change in the audio that makes the scene stand out.

My man Lee has been added.  Too bad they did not have Krags in the Dirty Dozen.  It would still have been a great movie. :D
