In una notte di chiaro di luna (the title has many translations - the most common is In A Moonlight Night, though occasionally In The Light of Moonlight and Crystal or Ash, Fire or Wind, as Long as It's Love) is a 1989 drama film from cult director Lina Wertmüller. The movie was a Italian-French co-production shot in London, Venice (Italy) and New York City and stars Rutger Hauer, Nastassja Kinski, Peter O'Toole, Faye Dunaway and George Eastman (under his rarely credited real name - Luigi Montefiori). It tells the story of John Knot (often misspelled as Knott, played by Rutger Hauer) - an American journalist who works for a French newspaper - writing an article about the reaction against people with AIDS unaware that he too is infected. After meeting his old friend Zaccarias (George Eastman) he decides to leave his non-infected wife (Nastassja Kinski) and daughter.

The following weapons were used in the film In una notte di chiaro de luna (On A Moonlit Night):


Beretta Model 70

There are two pistols seen in the movie, both of them Beretta Model 70 and they're probably the same prop for budget restrictions. It's first seen in the scene of a suicide of a young couple (who think that they're HIV-positive, while they're not) and later in the hands of John Knot (Rutger Hauer) in the scene where he threatens Zaccarias with it.
