The Man in the White Suit (1951) Poster, British

This exceptionally rare British billboard poster features the same artwork as the standard British poster. However, owing to its size (near life-size) it has a tremendous impact.


Fewer than five of these large billboard posters are known to have survived.


This classic Ealing Comedy came out a few months after the successful The Lavender Hill Mop, and again starred Alec Guinness with Joan Greenwood and Cecil Parker.
