Beschreibung:

Warner Bros., 1949. Fitted top and matching long skirt in pale gray threaded with horizontal stripes of silver. The top features three-quarter length sleeves, a zipper and hook-and-eye closure at the front, and a silver silk lining, and bears an interior Warner Bros. Pictures, Inc. label inscribed in black ink, "A / 3660-707." The floor-length skirt has a central pleated detail and a pale gray grosgrain waistband. It bears a matching Warner Bros. Pictures, Inc. label inscribed in black ink, "-B- / 3660-707." Neal, as Dominique Francon, wears this dress during her marriage to tycoon Gail Wynand. After suffering yet another rejection on another architectural project, Howard Roark pauses at the building's elevator, peers out the window, and sees Dominique and Wynand leaving their wedding reception, her dress flashing spectacularly in the daylight. The Fountainhead's release was somewhat overshadowed by the revelation of the affair between Neal and her married costar Gary Cooper, but it has won a devoted following in the years since.
