difficult I think.Let's see who's the great detective on this board! 
Who is the detective smoking the pipe?

| Humphrey Bogart proclaimed in 1950. “If everyone in the world would take three ... bent earnestly over a notebook, smoking a pipe and drinking scotch, ..."
Looks like Bogie to me

| Trying to narrow it down..
it is likely post "silent era" yet pre "techno-color era"
To the best of your knowledge was the pipe smoker married (even for a short period) to a famous blond hollywood star?

| | Quote: | | Dec 24, 1954 - A group of thirty professors, male students and co-eds competed in a pipe-smoking con; test as part of the college's month-long drive to raise funds for World ... Eva Zeitlin, a 19-yearold junior who had never smoked a pipe before, was the winning co-ed, with a smoking record of half an hour. ... |
Is the pipe smoker a professor?

| No,he is a detective just as LeStrade was in the Sherlock Holmes stories. 
Now the cat is out of the bag!

I am going to sleep now but will watch this thread unfold tommorrow while at work.The winner will get to pick out of my cellar a good 40-50 grams of quality
weed.

| No,you all failed to ID him.Another clue;In the 1950's some British TV shows
that had been successful in the U.K. were shown on American TV.One example
was "The Adventures of Robin Hood".This detective was seen on American TV
in the early-mid fifties.
