Guess the pipe smoker -

[Kashmir]

Anyone know this pipe smoker?
Hint: If you're after a movie full of pipe smoking he's your man.

 

[HCraven]

The angle is a little obscure, but could it be John McGiver?

 

[Kashmir]

Nope.

 

[12toneman]

looks like a monsieur on vacation.

 

[Kashmir]

Close.
Hint: The most famous French pipe man.

 

[Wet Dottle]

Inspector Maigret.

 

[Kashmir]

Nope. Think French movie Mr. Hullot's Holiday. One hilarious pipe movie. Don't need to know French cause he don't talk. He just does these incredibly goofy things all while smokin his pipe.

 

[Buckshot]

In that picture he looks somewhat like Mr. Bean...but he is British.

 

[Kashmir]

Very good! He was the earlier generation's French equivalent of Roan Atkinson aka Mr. Bean. And his name was Jacques Tati. His best role was in Mr. Hulot's Holiday. You don't need to know French cause he doesn't speak in this movie. Just does goofy things all while smokin, loading and tampin his pipe. He's like Charlie Chaplin on speed, but with a lit pipe as a prop.

OK. Here's another one. A man's man if you've read the book(s).

Well, not exactly. See in my man cave / garage or cold smokin den I'm surrounded by some dozens of famous pipe smokers. When I pipe I like to look over them, read their biographies, and late at night I've even been known to have extended conversations with them. The dead make for fine company.

Jack kerouak?

Jack kerouak?

Nope not Jack. Tho I loved him loved him a brother. I tend not to think of Kerouac as a man's man. More of a stoner's companion in the spirit world. For this man: Think a hundred years earlier in the South Pole Expeditions. A lot of pipers use him as their avatar. That's why he came to mind.

Ernest Shackelton (sp)?

Ernest Shackelton (sp)?

Nope. But gettin closer. Here's the blurb on this,amazin man, minus is name:

Nicknamed the "Irish Giant" (20 July 1877 - 27 July 1938) was an Irish seaman and Antarctic explorer from County Kerry. He was a member of three of the four major British expeditions to Antarctica during the Heroic Age of Antarctic Exploration, including Robert Falcon Scott's 1911–13 Terra Nova Expedition, which saw the race to reach the South Pole lost to Roald Amundsen and ended in the deaths of Scott and his polar party. During this expedition his 35 statute miles (56 km) solo walk across the Ross Ice Shelf to save the life of Edward Evans led to him receiving the Albert Medal.
