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.
