Banklady is a 2013 crime movie directed by Christian Alvart. The young Hamburg woman Gisela Werler leads a dull life in the mid-60s and has to feed her parents from her small salary. This changes, however, when Uwe, a colleague of Gisela's, needs a hiding place for the money he and cab entrepreneur Hermann "Peter" Wittorff have stolen during a bank robbery. Gisela is fascinated by the action of the two men and helps them. Gisela's criminal talent is evident from the very first attempt, and nearly 20 more robberies follow, during which the pair pocket a total of around 450,000 marks.
The following weapons were used in the film Banklady:
Pistols
Walther PP
Kommissar (Police commissioner) Fischer (Ken Duken), his Assistant Kruse (Niels-Bruno Schmidt) and some police officers have Walther PP as their duty sidearms.
