^Lot 192 Frank Sinatra Trench Coat from The First Deadly Sin

This trench coat was worn by the character “Edward Delaney,” played by legendary entertainer Frank Sinatra, in the 1980 motion picture, “The First Deadly Sin.” The trench coat by Brooks Brothers is constructed out of a tan cotton material with plaid lining, and has a removable “zip-out” black lining. The original costumer’s tag is attached reading “F.S. Raincoat”.

Mr. Sinatra first appears wearing the coat during the scene where Delaney arrives at the hospital to check on his ailing wife “Barbara” (played by Dunaway) and learns from her doctor that she’s had a relapse and is suffering from infection. After an emotional scene, Delaney goes to a bar and consults with a police colleague about getting a body exhumed, then returns to his apartment to review more information regarding the serial killer case he’s working on. Frank Sinatra co-produced “The First Deadly Sin”, and the film featured his last performance in a major motion picture. The film is also notable for actor Bruce Willis’ first onscreen appearance (in an un-credited background role). The movie was nominated for an Edgar Allen Poe Award for “Best Motion Picture” in 1981.

The coat is in vintage screen worn condition with minor evidence of age. Accompanied by a letter of authenticity.
