'The Peanut Man' is a 1947 American film about the life of George Washington Carver starring Clarence Muse. Muse won an interracial unity award for his role in the 45-minute film in 1949. In 1954, 'Jet' magazine reported he was working on another Carver film at his Muse-a-White ranch in Perris, California as a test film for a planned feature film. Tony Paton was the producer for the test film.
Paton and Muse met on a flight to New Orleans. 'Ebony' magazine headlined an article about the film stating it "Indicts Hollywood Race Bias". A continuity cutting for the film was deposited with the New York State Archives.
Maidie Norman made her film debut in the film. A poster for the film touts it as the "First Colored Feature Film in Glorious Natural Colors".https://movieposters.ha.com/itm/movie-posters/black-films/the-peanut-man-consolidated-1947-one-sheet-28-x-42-black-films/a/161332-54331.s
