"The Thief of Baghdad" (1978 - TV Movie) Hasan's (Roddy McDowall) Robe

Description

Prolific actor Roddy McDowall plays Hasan, a thief and magician in "The Thief of Baghdad" (1978). An original costume worn by McDowall in the film, this blue raw-silk robe has three-quarter bell sleeves and decorative ribbon piping at the closure, sides, and hem vents. It is lined in satin and retains the internal Berman & Nathans bias label, typed, "Roddy McDowall, Hassan [sic], Thief of Baghdad,” with other production information.

Following production, many of the decorative elements were carefully removed—most likely by Angels The Costumiers—before Planet Hollywood acquired the piece in 1998. This alteration is an interesting part of the costume’s history, reflecting its passage through one of the industry’s most storied wardrobe houses.

Mannequin not included
