Show notes
We’re looking at the 1951 film from Alexander Mackendrick, The Man in the White Suit. The film stars Alec Guinness as Sidney Stratton, an inventor who comes up with a fabric that will never wear out and never get dirty. He soon comes to the attention of both the bosses at the textile mills as well as the workers, and quickly learns that his good intentions are not appreciated in the least, with the possible exception of Daphne Birnley, his boss’s daughter.
