A Sir Cedric Hardwicke costume from The Hunchback of Notre Dame RKO Radio Pictures, 1939. Designed by Walter Plunkett. Brown velvet full-length long-sleeved cloak with an additional burgundy and tan flocked undercloak sewn in, bearing an interior "Western Costume Co." label inscribed, "Sir Cedric Hardwicke / 2[?]047" in black ink, with "Harwick [sic]" written in black ink and a "Western Costume Co." stamp on the interior. This luxurious costume is evidence of RKO's sparing no expense for the sumptuous production based on the novel by Victor Hugo Directed by William Dieterle and co-starring Charles Laughton and Maureen O'Hara, Hardwicke plays the wicked Frollo whose judgmental superiority and hypocrisy wreak havoc on Quasimodo and Esmeralda. Hardwicke wears the costume throughout much of the film, and his naturally regal bearing, the imposing design of this costume, and his superior performance make him the perfect villain of this piece; he ultimately meets his demise in this costume when he is thrown off the top of Notre Dame Cathedral by Quasimodo in the climactic end of the film. Accompanied by a DVD of the film.
