Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaJames A Michener, the celebrated novelist has long claimed (and bragged) that at 37, he was the oldest private serving in the army during the second world war. This movie and the book on which it was based prove Orry-Kelly far surpassed that boast when he was drafted at age 45 and served until the army finally released those over the age of 45.(He was 46 by then!)
- GoofsThe birth and death dates of Marion Davies and Fannie Brice were reversed. Marion Davies lived from 1897 - 1961; Fannie Brice from 1891 - 1951. The dates given in this film switch the dates, having Davies die in 1951 and Brice in 1961.

Featured review
Appalling travesty
This unwatchable show is chock full of bizarre directorial conceits, which start immediately with the odd notion that Orry-Kelly is 'unknown' despite having no fewer than 302 movie credits as one of the best-known costume designers in Hollywood from 1930-63. Curiously enough this claim is specifically contradicted by one of the first interviewees.
The tale is largely told using shots of the protagonist rowing a boat, for no apparent reason whatsoever; his mother is cruelly reduced to an Edna Everage caricature putting out the washing next to a lighthouse, for some other unexplained reason; there is not nearly enough of the actual dresses, which is the actual point after all; and even the title is wrong. Orry-Kelly dressed women, not undressed them. The remainder is basically the usual unsubstantiated scuttlebutt about Cary Grant, Randolph Scott, etc.
Among many other inaccuracies, David Selznick did not produce Casablanca.
