"The Man in the White Suit" premieres 1952



The Man in the White Suit, starring Alec Guinness (Obi-Wan Kenobi) as a chemist, made its premiere in New York City March 31, 1952.  It would be released to the rest of the US in April.

Guinness plays a man who develops an indestructible material, that won't even take a dye.  Hence, the white suit.  Hilarity ensues.

I love this film!  It was nominated for an Academy Award for Best Screenplay.  It did win National Board Review award for Best Foreign Film.
