The Talking Machine Forum — For All Antique Phonographs & Recordings

Hey everyone! Was wondering if anyone has seen the new Sherlock Holmes movie. The character Professor Moriarty uses a Berliner Gramophone throughout the movie. I made an effort to get a photo of it, but couldn't find any.

I finally got around to watching this movie on my flight back from Arizona a few weeks ago. I remembered seeing this thread last year, so I took some screen shots on my iPad with the intention of posting them here. Needles to say, I forgot about them...

That was certainly the one highlight of that film. Otherwise I was quite disappointed of the burlesque action style, rather than the development of characters and the thinking genius himself.

The machine just sold on ebay uk for £1651. Here's a video of it.

Although it's missing any kind of phonograph, I find the new BBC series just marvelous. Cumberbatch and Freeman are playing a perfect duo.
