    Sinatra singing "At Long Last Love" in "Return to Me"

    I am confused. In the romantic comedy, "Return to Me," starring Minnie Driver, Frank Sinatra sings "At Long Last Love." I have a copy of this precise version of this song - from a live concert in Paris in 1962. But the CD version is 2:12 in length while the movie version is close to 4 minutes. I...

    A Study in Scarlet

    In the Conan Doyle novel, A Study in Scarlet, is a reference to medieval German secret court identified as "Vehmgericht." Is this noun feminine, masculine, or neutral?

    What was Lovejoy's auomobile in the TV series?

    In the BBC television series, Lovejoy, Ian McShane's second automobile was, I think, a Morris Minor. Anyone who knows the Make, Model, and Year of that old non-sportscar converible that was loaned to him by Lady Jane Feldshun (spelling??), please let me know.

    Well-made leather jackets and coats with two-way zipper?

    I have a Steinbock wool jacket that has a two-way zipper - that is, the zipper zips "up" conventionally, plus when zipped up can be zipped from the bottom to "unzip" to the limit of its conventional facet. Please identify well-made leather jackets and coats having such a zipper arrangement.

    The Maltese Falcon

    I viewed "The Maltese Falcon" last night. Something struck me as, not exactly odd, but supremely unusual. Miles Archer was shot with a Webley-Fosberry revolver. These are scarce, and studios would have been unlikely to have such a firearm, or to acquire one for use by a first-time director. In...

    Wanted to trade - S&W "J" frame OEM grip set for OEM grip set

    I have a S&W "J" frame OEM grip set in nearly new condition. These are for round butt and are circa 1996-97 oversized reinforced rubber with slight finger grooves. I have very small hands and these grips are intended for larger hands and heavy recoil suppression. I seek the later, possibly...

    The revolver is a 6.5-barreled Adams 450.

    Watson's revolver?

    In the series starring Peter Cushing, the revolver was definitely not an RIC or top break.

    Watson's revolver?

    I recently bought "The Sherlock Holmes Collection," the only surviving BBC episodes starring Peter Cushing. These five 1960s episodes have Watson carrying and using "his service revolver." Seeing him load it in "A Study in Scarlet" shows it to be a solid frame, gate loader. I have no idea what...

    favorite director of all time?

    Dan: My only reason for not ranking John Ford with Wyler and Wilder is a personal gripe. In many of his films, there occurs a long fist fight in which no one is seriously injured and is supposed to be great fun to view. Howard Hawks' fights and shootings are over in seconds - no substantial...

    favorite director of all time?

    I find it verging on unbelievable that Howard Hawks has not yet made anyone's list but mine - even as an "also ran." He is slightly ahead of William Wyler and Billy Wilder for me. 1. Twentieth Century 2. His Girl Friday 3. Bringing Up Baby 4. Only Angels Have Wings 5. Scarface...

    The unknown Sherlock Holmes DVD collection I can no longer find

    Many thanks. This is the faux documentary that is what I seek. If it is available as a separate DVD, I'm in business. If not, I can now search for the collection accurately.

    The unknown Sherlock Holmes DVD collection I can no longer find

    Several years ago I checked out from the local library a made-for-television Sherlock Holmes DVD collection. On the last DVD was [included] a bonus feature with David Burke (of the first season of Jeremy Brett's series) reprising as Dr. Watson. He was the "guest of honor" at a banquet of the...

    Howard Hughes' jacket photograph - 7 November 1947 - What is it?

    Dan: This is the jacket. I think it's a pleasing design as it appear to be a good fit for him. . . . So what is it? *** Parenthetically, when I was a teenager and under the influence of my brother's friend, Ike Levy, I owned all long play albums of "I Can Hear It Now." In one for post-war...

    Howard Hughes' jacket photograph - 7 November 1947 - What is it?

    In a 02-09-2008 thread started by Garrett in HATS Forum, titled Howard Hughes, RBH, in series of photographs originally from Dixon, is one of howard Hughes leaving his airplane in Washington, D.C. to probably respond to a subpoena to testify at Congressional hearings. Hughes is wearing his...

    Who was the author of the World War II short story-memoir, "Git or Git Got?"

    Many years ago my parents owned Hilton Bedside Books, Volumes I through V. These were short stories and short memoir incidents that were exceptionally well selected. In one of those volumes was a short memoir by a fighter pilot describing a dog fight he had survived. The title was either "Git or...

    Australian Army "Digger" hat

    Australian Army "Digger" hat

    The Australian Army and, perhaps, armed forces of other countries use a brimmed hat that incorporates the ability to secure one side against the crown. Aside from being interesting to look at, what benefits does this feature offer?

    Dr. Fassbender's work room art in "What's New Pussycat"

    Peter Sellers as Dr. Fritz Wolfgang Sigismund Fassbender in "What's New Pussycat" had an interesting piece of art in his work area of his home. I think it was a statue of the giant gorilla holding Faye Ray from "King Kong." It shows clearly in background at the end of the first scene between...

    Conan Doyle's "The Valley of Fear"

    The Conan Doyle novel, The Valley of Fear, is my favorite Sherlock Holmes story. Has this novel ever been rendered as a talking motion picture?
