My wife just talked me into seeing a movie called Wind River made in 2017. Stars Jeremy Renner as a game warden on an Indian Reservation. Part way through the movie you find out he's carrying a Marlin stainless Guide Gun and it even shows him hand loading 4570s on screen. Nice to see a modern movie using current lever guns.
In the TV series The Big Valley made in the 1960's it shows Barbara Stanwyck using a 336. And I've seen at least one Publicity still of Linda Evens holding one.
I HATE auto-correct
Happiness is a Warm GUN & more ammo to shoot in it.
My Experience and My Opinion, are just that, Mine.

It’s a good movie; and addresses a respect for the firearm as a tool.
And I like the scene when he harshly scolds his son for poor/thoughtless firearms handling/ poor firearm safety
They use alot of lever guns in that TV series .Originally Posted by Walks

River of No Return with Robert Mitchum and Marilyn Monroe has Mitchum shooting an old Marlin 1893.
I remember first seeing a modern Marlin in one of the recent Jurassic Park movies.
Richard Boone {Palladin} carried a Marlin rifle.

Was watching Joe Kidd last night and loved the Savage 1899 and the Mauser Broomhandle. The movie was supposed to be 1900 New Mexico, so the Savage was correct. Not sure about the Broomhandle.
Good movie, although I had to wince watching him chamfer the casemouths.
.
The original Mauser C96 Broomhandle was produced from 1896 to 1937.
Now I lay me down to sleep

I hated that show. Too much like a soap opera than a western.
Chris Pratt in Jurassic World. Might even be the same rifle.
I was super disappointed when that movie turned out to be one long product placement.

The shootout with the Security Guys in Wind River was pretty good until people started rocketing backwards from the 45-70 shots.
Wind River was a great movie ...great ending
Besides the rifle, there is a scene where he's reloading some ammo.
here's a trailer, they show the rifle at 1:10

Some time ago I was watching an old Randolph Scott movie, forget which one, but at the end he goes back to get a woman and leave town and he puts a Marlin 1893 in the wagon when he climbs on to leave. Saw it right off!
In a different vein I was watching an episode of Wagon Train last week and Clint came riding into a gunfight shooting his 1873 Colt Model P and fired it eight times without reloading.

It was like the "seven shooter" in "Shakiest Gun In The West"
Never liked the Big Valley either.
Rowdy Yates in Rawhide, used a 1894 marlin in the series.
FWIW In the modern vein, when Walt Longmire decided someone needed shootin’ he grabbed his Winnie 94. In Yellowstone John Dutten doesn’t have many scenes where he doesn’t have his 94 near to hand either.
Wind River (and I’d forgotten Jurassic World) is probably the main reason the 1895 SBL sells like hotcakes
