Sherlock Holmes: A Game of Shadows - 2011
Director: Guy Ritchie Synopsis: A followup to the popular Sherlock Holmes (2009).

Dr Watson (June Law) gets married, Holmes (Robert Downey Jr.) continues to do battle with his arch enemy Professor Moriarty (Jared Harris). Scene: There are plenty of opportunities for period monograms in this story. Monogram: Top to Bottom: 1. Moriarty gives Holmes a monogrammed handkerchief (intertwined initials IA) that belonged to Irene Adler (Rachel McAdams) - who has died, either from a rare form of tuberculosis, or from poison. 2. Dr. Watson and his bride Mary (Kelly Reilly) in a First Class train compartment on their honeymoon trip to Brighton. The train is Southern Railway - with elaborate embroidered S on the linen antimacassar. 3. Holmes, dressed as a woman, has created a diversion and inserted a monogrammed lipstick case (intertwined WM engraved) into a rifle about to be used to kill them. 4. A stenciled initial M with border on the cover of a box of rifles - representing Moriarty?. 5. An elaborately staged assassination to kill an arms manufacturer, Alfred Meinhard (Thorston Manderlay) who has recently been bought out by Moriarty.
