The Wonderful Ice Cream Suit
Release: January 23, 1998

Fantasist Ray Bradbury wrote the screenplay for this adaptation of his 1957 Saturday Evening Post short story, "The Magic White Suit," previously adapted as a TV drama, a stage musical, and a play. Middle-aged Gomez (Joe Mantegna) hopes to own the beautiful white suit he spots in a store window. Since he can't afford it, he locates four same-size men to each contribute $20. On a Friday evening, the five in turn don the shining suit for an hour, and when they wear the iridescent garment, their wishes come true. Director Stuart Gordon had success 30 years ago with his production of the stage play. The opening titles are in sand animation. Shown at the 1998 Sundance Film Festival. — Bhob Stewart Joe Mantegna - Gomez Esai Morales - Dominguez Edward James Olmos - Vamenos Clifton Gonzalez Gonzalez - Martinez Gregory Sierra - Villanazul Liz Torres - Ruby Escadrillo Sid Caesar - Sid Zellman Howard Morris - Leo Zellman Lisa Vidal - Ramona Mike Moroff - Toro Mercedes Ortega - Celia Obregon
