MAN IN THE WHITE SUIT (1951)

SPECIAL EDITION

Determined textile chemist Sidney Stratton (Alec Guinness) finally realized his ambition of creating an indestructible fabric that resists all stains and tears. The celebration is short-lived, however, once both clothing industry management and labor realize the bottom-line implications of garments that never wear out-and then set out to squelch his discovery by any means necessary. Classic farce from Ealing Studios also stars Joan Greenwood, Cecil Parker, Michael Gough, Ernest Thesiger, Vida Hope.
