Closer to the Moon
|
Closer to the Moon is a 2013 Romanian/American comedy that is based on the true story of a 1959 Bucharest bank robbery that was done under the disguise of shooting a film. The cast included Mark Strong, Vera Farmiga, Anton Lesser, Joe Armstrong, Christian McKay and Tim Plester.
The following weapons were used in the film Closer to the Moon:
Pistols
Carpati Md 1974
Though anachronistic for 1958, the Carpati Md 1974 is used by Max Rosenthal (Mark Strong) during the bank robbery and the reconstruction. It is probably a stand-in for the era-correct Walther PPK.
Colt M1911A1
A Colt M1911A1 is used earlier in the film. Another one is used by Răzvan (Joe Armstrong) during the bank robbery.
Walther P38
Max Rosenthal trains Mirel with a Walther P38. Another one is used by Dumi (Tim Plester) during the bank heist.
Submachine Guns
MP40
The MP40 is used by Alice (Vera Farmiga) and Iorgu (Christian McKay) during the robbery.
Rifles
Romanian contract Vz. 24
During the final scene, the Jilava Prison Guards are seen armed with Romanian contract Vz. 24 rifles.
