A Cruel Romance (original title Zhestokiy romans) is a Soviet 1984 made for TV drama movie by Eldar Ryazanov. It is based on a classic Russian play Without a Dowry (1878).
The following weapons were used in the film A Cruel Romance:
Smith & Wesson .44 Double Action
During the soiree Paratov (Nikita Mikhalkov) and Semenovsky (Aleksandr Pankratov-Chyornyy) compete in marksmanship, using Semenovsky's nickel plated Smith & Wesson .44 Double Action with pearl grips (most likely not original S&W but a European, possibly Spanish clone). This revolver appears to be the same weapon that appears in several other Mosfilm productions, like Shvedskaya spichka, Semeynoe schastye, and Zemlya Sannikova.
Karandyshev (Andrey Myagkov) takes the pistol after the competition.
Percussion Dueling Pistol
A Percussion Dueling Pistol is seen on the wall in Karandyshev's (Andrey Myagkov) apartments. Karandyshev calls it a Turkish pistol. In the final scene Karandyshev fires this gun.
Robinzon (Georgiy Burkov) examines the pistol. Note the percussion cap lock.
Unidentified flintlock or caplock gun
A flintlock or caplock gun is seen on the wall in Karandyshev's apartments among with a caplock pistol and several cold arms.
