Drums Along The Mohawk Gilbert Martin (Henry Fonda)

The year 1939 is known as the "magical year", where the largest number of classic American movies were produced, including "Gone With The Wind", "The Wizard of Oz", "Stagecoach", "Mr. Smith Goes To Washington", "Wuthering Heights", ""Ninotchka" , "Dark Victory, "Gunga Din", and "Drums Along The Mohawk", to name just a few! Costumes from this stellar list is highly prized. These are a pair of hero, screen worn pants worn by Henry Fonda in his role as newlywed farmer Gilbert Martin struggling to make a go of it with his wife Lana (Claudette Colbert), during the Revolutionary War in John Ford's "Drums along Mohawk" (1939). This pair of period brown short-pants (that latch at the side) have the original official United Costumers tag inside the pants that read "Henry Fonda". A true rare collectable!
