[I just saw Casablanca]

Every time I watch Casablanca, I can't help but be wowed by that gorgeous beaded bolero jacket.  The  ensemble (jacket plus a sleeveless gown) was designed by Orry-Kelly for Bette Davis in Marked Woman (1937).

It was subsequently worn by Lola Lane in Hollywood Hotel (1938), and Ann Sheridan in Naughty but Nice (1939), but none of these gals looked as stunning in it as did the lovely Madeleine Lebeau.
