Mr. Washington can be seen wearing this costume when the character Rubin Carter is pulled over by police and is accused of shooting several people in a bar. They escort him to a hospital and to the scene of the crime to be identified, but the witnesses confirm he’s not the killer. During a flashback of the party that leads up to the police incident, Rubin wears the cream suit at a bar before covering himself up with a black jacket when leaving the club. The obsessed racist detective “Della Pesca” (Dan Hedaya) is determined to have Rubin falsely accused so he strikes a deal with witnesses, removing their criminal record in exchange for fictitious testimony.
“The Hurricane” is a 1999 film directed by Norman Jewison and stars Denzel Washington in the title role. This biopic looks into the life of Rubin Carter, a rising boxer who’s wrongfully convicted of murder, for which he spends 20 years behind bars. His story of struggle inspires a trio of Canadian advocates to help prove his innocence. Accompanied by a letter of authenticity from the costumer.
