Bean (1997)

For the 2007 sequel, see Mr. Bean's Holiday (2007).

Bean

Mel Smith's comedy takes the near-silent television character to America: London's Royal National Gallery, desperate to be rid of its worst guard, sends Mr. Bean (Rowan Atkinson) to Los Angeles as the learned "Dr. Bean" to present Whistler's Mother to the Grierson Gallery, where curator David Langley (Peter MacNicol) takes him into his home and watches his family, his career and the painting come apart. Pamela Reed plays Alison Langley and Burt Reynolds the painting's buyer, General Newton. PolyGram Filmed Entertainment released it in 1997. (IMDb; Wikipedia)

Watches

Casio Databank

Worn by Rowan Atkinson as Mr. Bean. Profiles in History's sale of Atkinson's complete screen-worn costume, archived by Heritage Auctions as lot 1840, lists it piece by piece: "green tweed jacket with leather elbow patches and leather cuff reinforcers, white shirt, brown wool pants, leather belt, black leather Oxford shoes, red necktie with blue spots and Casio digital "databank" watch." The essay adds that Bean "is virtually always wearing this standard garb", which makes the keypad Casio as much a part of the uniform as the tweed and the red tie. The lot names Casio and the Databank line and no model; a decade later Mr. Bean's Holiday put a Casio DBC-610, a Databank model, on the same wrist. (Heritage Auctions lot 1840) Two more costume sales agree: Profiles in History's lot 798 of 16 December 2012 closes its inventory with a "Casio digital 'databank' watch", and Nate D. Sanders's lot 13 of 29 April 2014 lists a "digital wristwatch by Casio with 'Telememo' feature on the bezel", the telephone-memory marking of the Databank line. (Profiles in History lot 798; Nate D. Sanders lot 13)
