This red dress shirt was worn by the character "Sammy," portrayed by actor Sammy Davis Jr., in the 1973 feature-length television pilot, "Poor Devil." The custom made Nat Wise red button down dress shirt has a two button cuff and patch breast pocket. Internal Nat Wise, "Sammy Davis Jr.", and “Nov. 1972” labels.
Mr. Davis wears this shirt while in hell and asking for advice from the world’s greatest criminals on how to acquire the soul of Jack Klugman (Burnett J. Emerson). "Poor Devil," starring Sammy Davis Jr., Christopher Lee, Jack Klugman, and Adam West, was an NBC pilot episode that aired on Valentine's Day in 1973. It inverted the story of "It's A Wonderful Life," featuring Davis as a bumbling coal-shoveling demon who has not gotten a soul for Satan in over 1400 years and is given one last chance.
The costume is in good vintage screen worn condition and is accompanied by a letter of authenticity.
