Myrna Loy's Transformative Performance in Whipsaw (1934): The Magic of Dolly Tree's Dark Krimmer Coat Step into the golden age of Hollywood and witness the captivating allure of screen legend Myrna Loy in her iconic role in Whipsaw (1934). In this intriguing crime drama produced by Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer, Loy's character, Rita Marlow, defies the typical glamour expectations of the era with an unexpected transformation. The defining moment of Loy's portrayal comes when she dons a striking dark coat, meticulously crafted by the brilliant costume designer Dolly Tree. This mesmerizing creation features a large collar and bands up both sides made of krimmer, a luxurious Russian lamb fur. The coat not only adds an air of mystery and sophistication to Loy's character but also symbolizes her inner strength and determination. As the jazz age came to a close and the 1930s roared on, Hollywood's fashion scene was in a state of flux. Whipsaw, with its groundbreaking costume design, epitomized the era's unique blend of glamour and innovation. Loy's dark, enigmatic look in the film was a stark contrast to the more traditional, genteel costumes of the time. The collaboration between Loy and Tree resulted in a visual masterpiece that continues to captivate audiences today. This photograph, taken during the production of Whipsaw, offers a glimpse into the magic of their creative partnership and the enduring impact of their work on the world of film and fashion.
