We’re looking at the 1951 film from Alexander Mackendrick, The Man in the White Suit. The film stars Alec Guiness 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.
Noirvember and Shocktober meet on this episode as we discuss Roman Polanski's 1999 film The Ninth Gate. Based on the book The Club Dumas by Arturo Pérez-Reverte, the film tells the tale of Dean Corso (Johnny Depp), a book detective who gets put on a case by the diabolical Boris Balkan (Frank Langella). He’s to compare three volumes of the same book, a tome which holds the secret of summoning the dark lord himself.
