Women He’s Undressed explores the life of Orry-Kelly, Australia’s most successful costume designer but, until now, unacknowledged in his country of birth.
During the golden years of Hollywood Orry-Kelly was costume designer on an astonishing 282 motion pictures. He designed for the stars including Marilyn Munroe, Bette Davis, Humphrey Bogart, Rosalind Russell and Errol Flynn. His films included Some Like It Hot, Casablanca, An American in Paris and Now Voyager.
Orry-Kelly (Jack to his friends) won three Academy Awards and was nominated for a fourth. He adapted his film costumes for street wear and retailed them through department stores. This feature length documentary will celebrate the public and private life of this talented Australian.
