My Uncle (tank commander, Battle of the Bulge) was armed with one and a 45 when he escorted a prisoner home from Europe to New York City after the war. Custody of both guns and prisoner was transferred to a couple of MPs at the boat dock. All never to be seen again.
My uncle said he got tired of showing his order papers to practically every officer on the ship on the way over after they saw the M3. LOL
RIP Uncle Frank.

Great catch, and that scene in the bar where he confronts the enemy barmaid defines “intense.”

FWIW, from the Korean War era until about 1965 the M3 was part of the OEM (Original Equipment, Manufacturer) Kit of the Jeeps, fuel trucks & other military vehicles.
(I think that it is “interesting” that hardly anyone ever stole a M3, when they were OEM.= CHUCKLE.)

Great flick. Directed by Don Siegel(Incasion of the Body Snatchers, Dirty Harry, among others.) And Bob Newhart doing hi telephone but in a dramatic film.
