Usually cheesy Charlie Chan or Sherlock Holmes movies have this kind of
stuff in them. Used as some kind of foreshadowing for theft and betrayal.
I think the real question is: How many serious movies have hidden safes
behind paintings? I'm not trying to be a wise guy, its a visual topic,
especially if the character opens or closes the safe without pointing it out
or verbally telling anyone.
Scar Face with Pacino. A play on the Hollywood cliché?
Angel Heart. If a bible counts.
