NaphtaliRifle in "Father Goose" ?
In the Academy Award winning "Father Goose" (Cary Grant, Leslie Caron - 1965), Grant is a Coast Watcher in an island near New Guinea in 1942. He has been issued a civilian sporting rifle. The rifle appears to be a superb Mauser sporting rifle with square bridge, possibly double square bridge action, butter knife handle, double set triggers, and schnabble foreend.
Can anyone describe the rifle more precisely because I am not confident of my details. If possible, please identify the maker

NormanConquestI haven't seen that movie in decades so don't remember much. I may need to watch it again just to verify the rifle. Hey, there are worse reasons to watch a movie.

Use Enough GunAn interesting website is
www.imfdb.org. This site is loaded with movie and television firearm info. Check it out.
I edited this post to correct the wrong address.

NormanConquestI clicked on it + it came up as an unsafe site. No worries really, if they were prevalent with Hollywood firearms 'info', there was most likely nothing true there. Sorry RCG, not an insult to you, only Hollywood. That being said, it would be fun to watch just because.

Randy, sorry about that. It should be
www.imfdb.org not {.com}. My entry error.
Please try again. Thanks for pointing it out.

NormanConquestIn the same vein of that rifle, I would like to share a Hemingway passage from "Islands In The Stream", the Bimini section P. 82. In which he gives the description of the "Little Mannlicher with the 18" barrel that they weren't allowed to sell anymore". Truly one classic paragraph. I understand that some might not own a copy (inexcusable) but with google, pulling it up should be a breeze.

Would you go back and edit the first hyperlink.
Not sure what it is, but I get a "security risk" when I went there before reading on down and getting the correct address.
Might solve someone having some sort of issue.

Good suggestion TC. I edited the original post to show the correct address. Thanks.
