Dorothy's dress from Wizard of Oz goes under hammer

《綠野仙蹤》女主角的格子花裙即將拍賣

It is slightly faded since it travelled the yellow brick road, but the dress that Judy Garland wore in The Wizard of Oz is expected to generate huge interest when it goes under the hammer this month in a sale of film memorabilia.

The distinctive gingham pinafore, tailored to fit the petite singer when she played Dorothy in the 1939 film, could fetch more than £35,000 in the sale by Bonhams auctioneers in London on April 27 which will also include rock and pop items.

The frock is being put up for sale by a Garland fan from Britain, who has owned it since 1989.

The garment was made specially for the 17-year-old Garland and carries a label with her name stitched into the inside hem, as well as a secret pocket where she could stash tissues.

It was one of two designed for the film. The other dress, plain blue with spots and frills, was eventually rejected and the gingham pinafore became one of the most instantly recognisable movie costumes of all time.

"This dress represents the quintessential magic of childhood in the most beloved film of the 20th century," said Jon Baddeley, group head of Bonhams' collectors department. "It has become a cherished memory for millions of fans worldwide and was worn by one of the most talented and respected stars in Hollywood. Film costume rarely gets better than this."

The Wizard of Oz, the most expensive film ever made at the time, launched Garland into stardom. The tale of a young girl and her dog Toto, whisked from Kansas into a magical realm, was a huge hit and vied with Gone With the Wind as the most spectacular film to date.

茱迪·嘉蘭在《綠野仙蹤》里穿過的一條裙子將在本月的一場(chǎng)電影紀(jì)念物拍賣會(huì)上公開拍賣,盡管這條裙子在沿著黃磚路前進(jìn)的旅途中已出現(xiàn)輕微褪色,但預(yù)計(jì)它仍將激起人們的巨大興趣。

這條獨(dú)具特色的方格花裙是專為這位體形嬌小的歌手量身定制的,她在1939年拍攝的《綠野仙蹤》中飾演桃樂茜。在英國(guó)倫敦博納姆拍賣行4月27日的拍賣會(huì)上,這條裙子估計(jì)能拍到3.5萬英鎊以上,屆時(shí)還將拍賣包括搖滾與流行樂曲在內(nèi)的其他物品。

這件衣裳是英國(guó)的一位嘉蘭影迷拿出來拍賣的,他從1989年起就擁有它了。

這件衣裳是特意為當(dāng)時(shí)只有17歲的嘉蘭量身定做的,衣服的內(nèi)邊縫有印著嘉蘭名字的標(biāo)簽,還有一個(gè)可以裝紙巾的暗袋。

其實(shí)這只是當(dāng)年為影片設(shè)計(jì)的兩條裙子當(dāng)中的一條,另一條裙子是淺藍(lán)色的,上面有著小圓點(diǎn)圖案和荷葉邊,不過后來還是被棄用了。只有這條方格花裙成為人們一眼就能認(rèn)出來的電影史上的經(jīng)典服飾之一。

“在這部20世紀(jì)最受歡迎的電影中,這條裙子代表了孩童時(shí)期的魔力精華?!辈彼古馁u行收藏部的總負(fù)責(zé)人喬恩·巴德利說,“對(duì)世界各地的數(shù)百萬影迷來說,它已經(jīng)成為一種珍貴的記憶,而且它是好萊塢最富才華、最受景仰的一位明星曾穿過的。電影戲服中很少有比這更稀罕的了?!?

《綠野仙蹤》是當(dāng)時(shí)造價(jià)最昂貴的一部電影,主演嘉蘭一舉成名。影片講述了一個(gè)小女孩和她的愛狗托托(在魔法的驅(qū)使下)突然從堪薩斯州飛到了一個(gè)充滿魔力的王國(guó)的故事,放映后轟動(dòng)一時(shí),和《亂世佳人》并稱為迄今電影史上最引人入勝的影片。
