This whimsical felt costume, made to mimic the flat and colorful artwork of a playing card, was created by Anthony Mendleson for Flora Robson’s portrayal of the Queen of Hearts in the 1972 𝑨𝒍𝒊𝒄𝒆’𝒔 𝑨𝒅𝒗𝒆𝒏𝒕𝒖𝒓𝒆𝒔 𝒊𝒏 𝑾𝒐𝒏𝒅𝒆𝒓𝒍𝒂𝒏𝒅.   In 1990, the costume resurfaced briefly in the cheesy 1990 horror television series 𝑺𝒉𝒆-𝑾𝒐𝒍𝒇 𝒐𝒇 𝑳𝒐𝒏𝒅𝒐𝒏, in the episode 𝑳𝒊𝒕𝒕𝒍𝒆 𝑩𝒐𝒐𝒌𝒔𝒉𝒐𝒑 𝒐𝒇 𝑯𝒐𝒓𝒓𝒐𝒓𝒔, where characters from books come to life.   The costume, owned by Angels & Bermans (now just Angels), went up for auction at @heritageauctions in 2018.   This costume’s companion – The King of Hearts – was also reused in an episode of 𝑫𝒐𝒄𝒕𝒐𝒓 𝑾𝒉𝒐!   Find out more on our website: Bit.ly/SciFi059

Original poster for Michael Powell and Emeric Pressburger's BLACK NARCISSUS ('47). The Himalayan scenery was all created in the studio (with glass shots and hanging miniatures), much to the surprise of some cast and crew-members who were anticipating a location shoot in Asia.
