1950's Hollywood 'does' Mediaeval

Prompted by our lovely Dreamstress in response to my Katy gown, I thought I would research what The New Look was doing to mediaeval costumes in the 1940s and 50s in Hollywood. Tricky. I've been scouring IMDB for movies then googling images. Slim pickings so far - if you have any favourites please comment and I will follow up and add them. I know that there was a bit of a trend for brides to be influenced by mediaevalism, no doubt as a result of some of the movies and TV programmes below, but I am more interested in the costumes themselves, not the derivatives.

 Angela Lansbury looking deliciously pouty while eating a burger with Basil Rathbone. I can't pin down what movie she was in but it may have been The Court Jester, although the photo is attributed to the 1940's (The Three Musketeers? Surely even Hollywood isn't that deranged about period costuming!).  Anyway, I love how even in this limited photo you can see the unmistakable impact of modern underpinnings, the sculpted bodice and off the shoulder line are so of their time. Adore the sleeves with the V on the hand. Gorgeous! She holds her burger like her character would have held a quail's egg.

Lousy images of Leslie Caron playing Elle in my second favourite Cinderella movie, The Glass Slipper. Actually I suspet this is set in that mythical 18th C Hollywood aesthete. Adorable anyway. Elle/Caron has pixie short hair and turns up at the ball with this hair and a tiara. Priceless! (my favourite is Ever After, my third favourite is The Slipper and the Rose)

Yetch that pink could take your eye out. Lansbury on left, showing off her exquisite shoulders, Glynis Johns on the right showing off hers. While the big skirt is missing, the 1955 silhouette is apparent for sure.

Serious stuff - Laurence Olivier as Richard III sweeping Claire Bloom off her feet. Hard to find a better image of Bloom. The costumes in this are trying harder, but provenance is still apparent. Again the gorgeous sleevesm covered buttons, off the shoulder.

Patricia Driscoll as Maid Marion in the British series of Robin Hood, 1955-1960 (she took the role over in 1957). What is not to love about this bodice! Pure 50's panto. That neckline, that silhouette, the sewn on pretend lacing, it's divine!

And this one, swoon! Dior does Deer hunting!!

Do share your fave examples of period costuming hijacked by the contemporary fashion!
