Following a delicious lunch from Sam’s, our first Food and Flicks program of 2016 will feature the wonderful movie, Mr. Holmes. This movie is an interesting spin on Sir Arthur Conan Doyle’s most celebrated detective, Sherlock Holmes, played by the incomparable Sir Ian McKellen. A now-retired Holmes, his steel-trap mind fading with his advancing age, lives out his golden years in the late 1940s. He returns from a trip to Japan, where he witnessed first-hand the result of America’s bombing of Hiroshima. He lives with his devoted housekeeper Mrs. Murno, played by Laura Linney, and her son Roger, who turns out to be of great help when the detective reopens his investigation into the case that led to his retirement.
