Beau Geste Rare Vintage French Legion Shirt Movie Costumes
BEAU GESTE – original tan colored French Legion 1900's Shirt with blue embroidery, complete with original studio labeling. This rare shirt is an actual vintage French Legionnaire shirt with Legion buttons, which was acquired for studio use for the original 1939 classic film, BEAU GESTE, starring Gary Cooper and Ray Milland. It is one of the only shirts or costume pieces to ever surface from this great film (which inspired Indiana Jones, and countless other films). The shirt was ALSO re-used in the 1966 remake of Beau Geste, and worn in that film by Mr. Hal Hopper, a famous character actor in Hollywood who starred in countless films and TV Series back in the 1950s-1960s. Mr. Hopper’s name is written in ink on the interior of the shirt along with Western Costume Company stamp. Also, this same shirt is believed to have been recycled for a third time and reused in the great Cult comedy: The Last Remake of Beau Geste, from 1977, starring Marty Feldman (from Young Frankenstein) as well as Michael York and Ann Margaret. Comes with original COA.
