A Vivien Leigh coat from Waterloo Bridge
Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer, 1940. Blue-green calf-length coat with four front pockets and a matching belt. Together with a supplied hat. No labels present. Accompanied by a copy of the film. Leigh wears this coat when she and Taylor attempt to get married before he leaves for the war, and when she sees him off at the train station.
Waterloo Bridge was Leigh's first film after the massive success of Gone With the Wind (21 Days was released later in January 1940 but filmed in 1937). It was the second film to be adapted from the 1930 play of the same name and costarred Robert Taylor. Both Leigh and Taylor referred to it in later years as one of their favorite films.
