Correct Charlie. Hell Is For Heroes was released in 1962. Set in 1944 during World War 11.
'' The weapon Steve McQueen is using is an M3, .45-cal. ACP submachine gun known as the ''Grease Gun''. It came into use late in the war, replacing the Thompson submachine guns ( known as the Tommy Gun ). It was not a general-issue weapon to infantrymen, normally it was the crew weapon on a tank. Many, however, ''found'' their way to the front- line troops. This earlier-model weapon had a charging lever on the side that you see McQueen using occasionally to clear the weapon as it jams. Later models ( M3A1 ) were charged by simply pulling back on the bolt by inserting your finger into a recess in the bolt. The M3A1 wire stock included a tab to help load magazines, the ends threaded to accept a cleaning brush to clean the barrel and it was used as a weapon to unscrew the barrel for disassembly. The weapon was only manufactured during WW11 by General Motors Headlight division, and cost about $20 apiece, as opposed to the Thompson submachine gun which cost about $100 apiece. ( IMDB trivia ).
Image # 112 ( top) from a Belgium poster and Image # 113 ( just above ) from a daybill. Name the film titles. # 112 set in the Korean War and # 113 is obviously from World War 11.
The nationality once determined and the Korean War should be enough to work out the title of the film. Also have a real good look at the image of the main actor on the right of the image and it should certainly enable someone to work out the answer.
