Summary
THE MAN WHO TOOK A CHANCE: ELI WHITNEY (1952): The long-running television anthology Cavalcade of America told the story of a different American innovator every week from 1952 to 1957. In this way it reflected sponsor DuPont's motto, "Better things for better living." Set during the American Revolution, "The Man Who Took a Chance" shows how Eli Whitney turned the tide of war by mass producing muskets for our soldiers. He would later become famous as the inventor of the cotton gin. Whitney is played by Richard Denning, the star of the sci-fi classic Creature from the Black Lagoon (1954) and the TV series Mr. and Mrs. North (1952-1954). Also appearing are stalwart character actors Byron Foulger, John Litel, Rhys Williams, and Lewis Martin.
