An original ensemble worn by Richard Anderson as "Chief Quinn" in the Fred M. Wilcox science fiction film Forbidden Planet ( Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer, 1956 ).

This tailored ensemble is composed of wool, featuring a ribbed tunic and a pair of pants, as well as a leather belt with a cast plastic buckle. As noted by a previous auction house, the belt buckle is not the original used with the outfit, but is cast from the same mold. The ensemble features original Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer costume tags, including one on the tunic reading, "Dick Anderson / 1671-4492," a tag inside the pants that reads, "Dick Anderson / 1671-4492 34-34" and "MGM / 14872 3," as well as a hand-written label on the interior of the leather belt that reads, "Jones / Fred / Stevens."

Chief Quinn wears this type of ensemble throughout the film, and can be seen wearing it aboard the United Planets Cruiser C-57D.

Value: $15,000.
