The Man In The White Suit (1951) |

The most satirical of Ealing's comedies, played as a farce and put together with meticulous cinematic counterpoint. Alec Guinness, by now the most ubiquitous of Ealing faces, plays a would-be research chemist who invents a fabric which will never soil or wear out. Before the threatened unions and business owners can destroy his formula a flaw is revealed – the fabric disintegrates! One of the highlights is Joan Greenwood's rapt response to Guinness' scientific jargon – an enchanting piece of screen comedy and surely a contributor to the Oscar nomination for Best Original Screenplay (Roger Macdougall, Alexander Mackendrick and John Dighton).
