Or the James Wood film "Salvador".
He and his partner photojournalist use Nikons and Canons
interchangeably throughout the film. The kicker is when James Woods
is about be beat up by the local constabulary, his partner
photojournalist walks out with a Leica M4-p on the hip. This Leica pj
stops all the action of the constabulary with a click of his shutter
as a witness, the click being a motor driven Nikon F2! So much for
the silent shutter of a Leica.

Hi all, next to buying & using my Leicas, i enjoy seeing them used IN
pictures or movies. The following will list a few I have found, can any
members of LUG add to my list?
TV shows: Last of the Prisoner series, 'Fall Out' photog using 3F or G
doing a fashion shot in London.
Another spy series, CoverUp, the series showed a Contax with the show's
title coming out of the lens(they covered the body's name). On one show
of the series, they had model/spy photographing at a disco,
using 3F, no flash, but with Nikon F3 motordrive dubbed in!
Natalie Merchant used a Leica in her video, Carnival
Only wished this was in movie, but in Ian Flemming's 007 story Goldfinger,
Bond used a Leica to fotograph Auric cheating at cards, Flemming gave a very
detailed account, the camera was hidden between the pages of a book!

Leica, it's not just a camera,
it's an adventure!
