Angel and Sinner is a 1945 movie directed by Christian-Jaque. Normandy, 1870. Prostitute Élisabeth decides to leave France, occupied by the Prussian army. She leaves Rouen and heads for Le Havre in a stagecoach with a group of aristocrats. When the carriage stops at an inn, a Prussian officer forbids the passengers to continue their journey until Élisabeth spends the night with him. At first, she refuses to submit to the enemy, but out of pity for her fellow passengers, she relents. And still, the stagecoach did not get far - it is captured by Prussian soldiers. And all the women are taken to the sadistic lieutenant's castle.
This is the tenth film adaption based on the 1880 short story Boule de Suif by Guy de Maupassant
The following weapons were used in the film Angel and Sinner:
Handguns
Smith & Wesson Model 10
A Prussian officer is seen with what appears to be an anachronistic Smith & Wesson Model 10 revolver. Accurate sidearms for Prussian forces would be a Dreyse or a Colt 1851 Navy revolver.
Rifles
Chassepot Mle. 1866
French and Prussian soldiers are armed with period-correct Chassepot 1866 rifles. Actually, the main weapon of the Prussians at that time was the Dreyse Needle Gun.
St. Etienne Mle. 1842T Musketoon
Some franc-tireurs (free shooters) are equipped with Mousqueton de gendarmerie modèle 1842T muzzleloading rifles.
