content: Russell wore this suit in the role of Madame Rosepettle in the 1967 black comedy film Oh Dad, Poor Dad, Mamma's Hung You in the Closet and I'm Feelin' So Sad. The movie, directed by Richard Quine and written by Ian Bernard, was based on the play of the same name by Arthur L. Kopit. The surreal farce tells the story of an overbearing mother who takes her developmentally stunted son on a trip to a resort in the Caribbean along with the body of her deceased husband. The film was produced by Seven Arts and Ray Stark in association with Paramount Pictures, its distributor.
