Pirates of Monterey Major de Roja (Gilbert Roland) Costume
The staggering success of the "Pirates of the Caribbean" series owes a great debt to 1947's "The Pirates of Monterey", a big box office hit for Universal Pictures. Although shot mostly in Griffith Park and the shores of Malibu, this epic pirate adventure caught the hearts and imagination of the movie public, and began a series of "loveable rogue" pirate films culminating in the astonishing Johnny Depp as Capt. Sparrow! This is the hero screen worn Spanish Army tunic worn by dashing heart-throb Gilbert Roland as Major de Roja. The coat shows some fading on the shoulders, and has been slightly altered since its use with the white collar piping and the shoulder epaulettes removed. It has the original Western Costume label inside with the original writing, including the name "Gilbert Roland".
