Gabriel Over the White House is a Depression Era, pre-Code, political fantasy about a divinely-inspired president who establishes a dictatorship in order to cure society’s ills. The 1933 film was the brainchild of William R. Hearst and benefited from the comments and support of president-elect Franklin D. Roosevelt. Directed by Gregory La Cava and based on the novel “Rinehard” by Thomas Frederic Tweed (un-credited), the film starred Walter Houston, Franchot Tone, Karen Morley, and C. Henry Gordon.
The following weapons were used in the film Gabriel Over the White House:
Krag-Jørgensen
Throughout the film, soldiers and US Army Federal Police use Krag-Jørgensen rifles. These are likely Springfield Model 1896 rifles.
Thompson Submachine Gun
Throughout the film, Nick Diamond’s henchmen carry a Thompson Submachine Gun.
Lewis Gun
Throughout the film, US Army Federal Police operate armored cars, which appear to be based on the King Armored Car. The US Army deployed the King car against Pancho Villa in Mexico. It carried a Lewis Gun or a Browning M1917.
Toy Cowboy Gun
President Judson Hammond (Walter Huston) indulges his nephew, Jimmy Vetter (Dickie Moore) and his toy cowboy gun as Beek stands by.
