<Our item number 79926><B>Davis, Bette Nightgown From <I>Bride Came C.O.D.</I></B> A gorgeous champagne satin, sleeveless, floor-length nightgown with a lace trim and a satin v-neck bodice, designed by Orry-Kelly for Bette Davis in her role as &#34;Joan Winfield&#34; opposite James Cagney. In the 1941 Warner Bros. film, Davis plays an oil heiress who plans to elope with bandleader Allen &#40;Tommy Keenan&#41;, but penniless pilot Steve &#40;Cagney&#41; makes a deal with her father to &#34;kidnap&#34; her to avoid the marriage. The &#34;runaway heiress&#34; was a popular theme in the 1930s and 40s. One reviewer called the film &#34;exhaustingly entertaining.&#34; The gown is a beautiful piece of film history. <BR>Estimated Value &#36;800-1,000. <BR><BR>Our item number 79926<BR><IMAGES><P ALIGN=CENTER"><IMG SRC="http://www.goldbergcoins.net/liveauction/38jpegs/079926.jpg"> </P></IMAGES> "
