The Man in the White Suit: Another Ealing studio production staring Alec (use the force Luke) Guinness. He plays a textile scientist looking to create something. He does explain it to Joan Greenwood (playing the textile owners daughter) but I have no more idea of what he said than she did. It doesn't give the plot away by saying it's a white cloth that doesn't get dirty and doesn't wear out. And after a few comic explosions he manages it.
This is when the fi...lm shares some of the themes of I'm alright Jack ( It even has a female anti capitalist shop steward that is a little softer than Peter Sellers) with the vested interests looking to see that the invention is suppressed. Kidnapping and a final chase through the streets of a Northern Industrial town bring the film to an end. (Watch out for the string on a flat cap so it flies off at the right moment)
A good comedic film lightly poking fun at 1950s Britain made with the usual Ealing craft: tight scripts, excellent acting and all jolly good fun, what!
