Re: Double rifles in the movies

THE LAST SAFARI with Stewart Granger...uses a .577 Westley Richards in the movie. The gun was featured in a Guns and Ammo Annual a few years back. KING SOLOMONS MINES, also with Stewart Granger. Uses a 8 bore Rhodda ( I believe) and this gun was featured on the cover of American Rifleman several years ago. Check out the book WHITE HUNTERS by Herne. It has a whole section on "Hollywood" Africa. I believe he mentions in that book that the rhino shot during the filming of SNOWS OF KILIMANJARO was actually shot by the hunter hired to protect the film crew. It wasn't meant to be shot, but charged.
