A Lewis Stone coat from Queen Christina
Footnotes
If you love classic film, then you are well aware of Lewis Stone, who was a staple in many of MGM's Golden Age motion pictures and the oft-recognized father, Judge Hardy, in the famous Andy Hardy series of films starring Mickey Rooney. In Queen Christina, Stone plays minister Axel Oxenstierna opposite Greta Garbo and John Gilbert. This extravagant cloak is typical of MGM and its opulence, even during the Depression years; no expense was spared for the studio that had under contract "more stars than there are in the heavens." This is a truly rare gem worn by one of the greatest character actors of all time in one of MGM's most successful films.
