EDITORS COMMENTS
Ann Sothern, the vivacious and talented actress, is seen here in an exquisite Dolly Tree gown from the 1940 film "Congo Maisie." This stunning image captures Sothern's youthful charm and timeless glamour, as she dons the elegant evening gown for a jazz-filled scene in the movie. Produced by Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer (MGM) Studios, "Congo Maisie" was released in 1940 and marked an essential turning point in Sothern's Hollywood career. The film follows the story of Maisie Rennert, a young woman who travels to the Congo to find her fortune, only to encounter various comedic and romantic misadventures. The Dolly Tree gown, designed for the film, is a beautiful example of the intricate and sophisticated fashion of the 1940s. The gown's silhouette features a fitted bodice that accentuates Sothern's slender figure, while the full, voluminous skirt cascades gracefully around her. The dress is adorned with delicate beading and intricate sequin detailing, adding an air of opulence and elegance. As Sothern dances the night away in the jazz club scene, the Dolly Tree gown moves with her, highlighting her grace and agility. The combination of her infectious energy, the sultry jazz music, and the breathtaking gown creates a truly captivating moment in the film. This photograph serves as a testament to the enduring allure of classic Hollywood glamour and the iconic fashion of the 1940s. Ann Sothern's performance in "Congo Maisie" continues to inspire and delight audiences, and this image of her in the Dolly Tree gown is a visual reminder of the magic that was created during that era.
