My favorite movie scene with a Krag in it is the one in "For Whom the Bell Tolls", when Pilar uses one to good effect during the assault on the bridge. -
Lots of them in the silent movie THE BIG PARADE. A pretty good representation of WW-1 probably filmed with Calif. NG troops.Comment

He used many as I watched all the episodes a few yeas ago on You Tube and noticed he used at least 5 different Krags with one being tiger striped. That was R.K.O. Studios which became Desi Lu when Hogans Heros was filmed on the 40 Acre Lot http://www.retroweb.com/40acres.html Cool stuff if you dig around the web page to see how may shows used others backgrounds especially Star Trek.

There was one starring Wallace Beery depicting an old retired Marine in the Philippines at the start of the war. I don't remember the plot but in the end he was behind a rock picking off Japanese with a Krag. Can anyone tell me the name of the flick?Comment

Watched one last night on TCM. "The Real Glory", 1939, with Gary Cooper, David Niven, and Broderick Crawford. Dealt with the Moro uprising on Mindanao, set in 1906. The "good guys" (ie: the white actors with perfect white teeth) armed themselves with '97 trench guns and .38 revolvers, and most notably a clip fed Gatling gun. Their loyal Filipino trainees carried Krags- shortened ones with the appearance of PC short rifles, always, it seemed, with bayonets attached. I had to chuckle when the Moro leader showed a captured Krag to a minion and said it was worth 20 bolos (in terms of effectiveness). At one point Cooper muttered whether the world would remember their success as being brought about by the Krag rifle or by their medicines.Comment
