Curator's Corner: Phil Noir Part 1 - Colt Detective Special

Wow. This video was made for me. Film Noir and Colt Detective Special. Classic films and classic revolvers. Those have been my passions for the last few decades now...

Super interesting video! I have a love for both noir movies, and vintage firearms, so these are fun to watch.

Beautiful gun, and I pretty much only watch black and white movies and TV shows and Hogan's Heros lol. I love film noir, I love old revolvers. I always heard that Maltese Falcon was the first, but I had seen a movie like that from before Maltese Falcon I am pretty sure. I love that tall did this in black and white and have the flickering and sound of the reel to reel. Just awesome!!!

In 77 Sunset Strip, they use all Colts I believe. Efron Zymbalist Jr. used a pocket positive snub with an extra short barrel and I belive Roger Smith and Edward Byrnes both used Detective Specials. I'm still waiting to get on myself. I'll have one soon enough. Wish I could find one for 500 bucks! Thanks for sharing.
