Displacement by wardrobe in Douglas Sirk's "Written on the Wind" (1956)

For the Self Styled Siren. 

Lauren Bacall's first costume. ("First" in this case meaning with respect to the actual diegetic chronology; the picture actually begins after this scene, which is part of a lengthy flashback.) With Robert Stack.

Dorothy Malone's first costume. With John Larch as "Roy Carter."

Lauren Bacall's final costume. With Maidie Norman and Rock Hudson.

Dorothy Malone's final costume. With portrait of Robert Keith.

Hat tip: Claire Kenny and Big Screen Classics, which ran the film yesterday at the mighty Lafayette Theatre.
