Sherlock Holmes and a photograph of Abraham Lincoln

[David Lockmiller]

I was watching the movie "Sherlock Holmes and the Pearl of Death" this morning when I noticed in the background of the scene at 221-B Baker Street a framed photograph of President Abraham Lincoln.

Yes, David!

Wow, this would have made a great trivia question...(from what movie is the scene...)

I'm sure there are plenty of other movies with random portraits of Lincoln that could be used for trivia questions.

[RJNorton]

Eva and Steve, you gave me an idea. I found this one. What movie is this from?

[Gene C]

Is that Donald Pleasence in Halloween?

[RJNorton]

Excellent, Gene! Yes, it is Donald Pleasance in Halloween IV: The Return of Michael Meyers (1988).

[RJNorton]

Let's try one more - what is the name of this movie?

[Steve]

I've never seen any of the Halloween movies, but I do recognize the 2nd picture from the Manchurian Candidate.

The Manchurian Candidate -- now there was a scary movie. I've thought about it frequently over the past decade...

[Steve]

Maybe somebody should start a movie trivia thread in the trivia section!

[RJNorton]

The Manchurian Candidate is correct. I recall how scared my mother was when she saw it. There is an article and photos regarding the movie here.

What famous actress is holding a Lincoln book?

[Gene C]

Marilyn ?

[RJNorton]

Yes, Gene - Marilyn was a Lincoln fan.
