Thumbs up N-frame in Point Blank

Have you ever seen the film-noir pic "Point Blank" (1967) starring Lee Marvin? Great flick! Lee uses an N-frame Smith with a 4inch non-tapered barrel and a red insert front sight. Does anyone know what model he's using?

So Lee was several years ahead of Clint in running a 29!
