Sir Cedric Hardwicke Costume from Howards of Virginia
Green tailcoat made of heavy wool, worn by Sir Cedric Hardwicke as the patriarchal Fleetwood Peyton in The Howards of Virginia (1940). The film starred Cary Grant and detailed the travails of a family living through the Revolutionary War. The film was unusual for its time in being shot on location in historic Williamsburg, VA. Coat includes a United Costumers tag with Sir Cedric's name handwritten on it, alongside a production number of 845 A # 5. Hardwicke portrayed many austere, patriarchal roles in his many years in Hollywood but also made a name for himself in horror films such as The Hunchback of Notre Dame, The Ghost of Frankenstein and The Invisible Man Returns.
