This Colonial coat was worn by the character "Jack Kevorkian," portrayed by actor Al Pacino, in the 2010 television film, "You Don't Know Jack." The blue coat is constructed of a faille blend fabric with gold embroidering and gold buttons.
Mr. Pacino wears this coat as he arrives to court in a pillory, emphasizing his point that he is being punished according to out-of-date legal concepts. He then walks out of the courtroom in the middle of questioning in protest. He can be seen wearing the coat again during the credits of the film as he is riding a bicycle. "You Don't Know Jack," starring Al Pacino, takes a look at the life and work of physician-assisted suicide advocate Jack Kevorkian. The film was nominated for 15 Emmy Awards, two Golden Globe Awards, and three Screen Actors Guide Awards, with Al Pacino winning best actor in each of the Awards.
The coat is in very good vintage screen worn condition and is accompanied by a letter of authenticity from the costume house. Presented by The Golden Closet, your premier source for iconic screen used wardrobe, props, and music entertainment memorabilia.
