The above link lists the movies where a Model 8 Remington appears. If you are like me old movies and old guns go together. Quite unexpected while viewing "The Philidelphia Story" with Cary Grant and Kathryn Hepburn the other night one of our 8`s appeared. This movie, not the normal setting for guns, with the plot not involving crime, so it was missed I guess by the folks that put together the website. Next time you watch this movie look for it. Hepburn,a bit tipsy is with Grant and removes a Model 8 from a gun cabinet. Grant quickly takes it from her and returns it to the case. Who knows? Grant and Hepburn both play affluent people......Perhaps it was a high grade 8 or an FN. Wonder where that rifle is now?
