Pipe Sighting at the Movies

[Hillcrest]

The movie The Nephew was released in August of 1998. A young man takes his mother's ashes back to her hometown in Ireland to fulfill a promise he made her and to meet his Uncle. A cute PG-13 movie with great scenery and decent plot and well acted. Stars Pierce Brosnan and Sinead Cusack and the late Donal McCann. The Uncle Tony Egan played by Donal McCann who sadly passed away a year later in 1999 is seen smoking what appears to be a Peterson Pub pipe while talking to his nephew who is clearing rocks in a field. BUT ... The D18 was reintroduced in 2015 and became a regular shape in 2019 !!! This pipe looks like a 2019 Arklow D18. How is that possible when the movie was made prior to 1998 ??? Could it be just a House pipe and I am mistaken ? Or is it a sandblast shape 4 (309) Dutch ??? What do you think ?

It could also be a Chisul Rustic 02 or more likely the 988-1988 Dublin Millenium Pipe as Donal McCann the actor was from Dublin. ???

In the propaganda film Mission to Moscow ( 1943) the American ambassador to the USSR gets to meet Stalin.
Stalin smokes a great looking full bent with a very Dunhillesque style. Couldn't see a white dot so I can't verify the brand. Film had excellent production values so maybe, since Uncle Joe favored Dunhills, the pipe the actor smoked was actually a Dunhill.

We went to see the new Frankenstein movie on Wednesday evening. It's very good, even (especially?) for a Netflix production. In at least 2 scenes, pipes are shown, though without smoke (lest anyone be triggered).
