I think this may be from one of those Disney movies in the 1970’s along the line of The Absent Minded Professor. All I can really remember is that someone had a sword hung over the front door and that whenever someone shut the door, the sword would fall down with a loud clang.
The exact scene I remember is that several people were upstairs in a study and someone came in the door and they heard the sword fall. Somehow this sword falling was important in the film.
Thanks to anyone who can solve this mystery.
There’s a similar scene in Gremlins.
Here’s a photo of the door and swords:

Hmm. I did see Gremlins when it first came out. I’ll have to rewatch it. Maybe I just put the memory further back in time.
Yes! It’s the first Gremlins movie! Thanks for solving this nagging mystery!
Glad to help, Dave!
