The World Moves On is a 1934 movie directed by John Ford. Two families, cotton merchants in England and America, with branches in France and Prussia swear to stand by each other in a belief that a great business firmly established in four countries will be able to withstand even such another calamity as the Napoleonic Wars from which Europe is slowly recovering. Then many years later, along comes World War One and the years that follow, to test the businesses.
The following weapons were used in the film The World Moves On:

Rifles

The war scenes directed by John Ford contain Berthier Mle 1907-15 rifles that are used by Richard, Henri Girard (Raul Roulien) and Dixie (Stepin Fetchit). This rifle is first seen in 1914 when the war broke out which is an anachronism.

Since this movie contains many fight scenes reused from the French 1932 movie Wooden Crosses, other French soldiers can be seen with Lebel 1886 rifles which are not used by characters of Ford's movie.

German soldiers are armed with Gewehr 1898s.
Mauser Karabiner 98AZ

Maxim MG08s are used by German soldiers.
Hotchkiss M1914
