The King of Krag Movies has to be "The Real Glory" (1939) with Gary Cooper, David Niven and Broderick Crawford. It is set in the Philippines in 1906 and Cooper is a U.S. Army doctor assigned to a small unit of Americans charged with training the Filipino troops defending a village against Moro warriors. Hundreds of Krags, most cut down (real Constabulary rifles?), Winchester 97 shotguns and Colt New Service revolvers. Pretty gory for that time, an ancestor of the "Indiana Jones" type movies....hard to find on DVD but it's out there. Don't foget "The Wind and the Lion" also....
