El diputado ("The Deputy"; released in USA under the original Spanish title; alternative English title is Confessions of a Congressman) is a 1978 Spanish drama movie directed by Eloy de la Iglesia. In post-Francoist Spain, a left wing politician Roberto Orbea (José Sacristán) is elected as the Deputy of the Cortes Generales (Parliament). But the ultra right organisation, headed by Carrés (Agustin Gonzales), uncovers Orbrea's most intimate secrets that may ruin his career.
The following weapons were used in the film El diputado:

TT-33
In several scenes Carrés (Agustín González) holds a TT-33. TT pistols (possibly the same prop reused) are also seen in hands of a police officer and a shooter on the range. TTs were supplied to the Spanish Republic from the USSR during the Spanish Civil War, and a number of these pistols could still be in use in 1970s, although hardly as an officially adopted police sidearms.
Tokarev TT-33 - 7.62x25mm Tokarev. Pre-1947 version.
