Robert Donat

[Frederic Leighton]

Donat's final role was the mandarin Yang Cheng in 'The Inn of the Sixth Happiness' (1958). His last spoken words in this film were prophetic, "We shall not see each other again. I think. Farewell." He died on 9 June 1958 aged 53 in London.

"Robert Donat (1905-1958), actor, lived here."

Coat with action back (1935), stripes, more stripes, pin stripes and... stripes:

One would be very unlikely get run over while crossing the road in that attire.

I have a chalk stripe on charcoal suit (a Dugdale cloth IIRC) which I thought was a little jazzy. I neglected to acquire some co-respondent shoes to set it off : I must rectify that - Herrings have a sale on presently with some Church's in that pattern...

Something tells me he had a penchant for stripes...

I'm not sure how I feet about that piped pocket. It's interrupting the pattern without interrupting it enough to look purposeful. I am however enjoying donat's posing.

Now I understand the "action" involved in an action back...
