"It's just the suit. It looks as if it's wearing you."

THE MAN IN THE WHITE SUIT is good and satirical entertainment, and here and there a funny lesson addressed the economy. The brilliant chemist after a series of expensive and unsuccessful experiments manages to find a way of producing fibers which is resistant to dirt. The story shows how his invention causes hostility to capitalist owners of textile factories worried they would lose their profits, and unions concerned that workers will lose their jobs.

In a deft, satiric and somewhat cynical way, this movie makes fun of modern industry. Topics in the film can be viewed seriously, but I think that naughty, cheeky and funny script that does not allow. In certain segments, we can figure out some moral values or the absence thereof. The sad outcome is certainly striking. It is interesting to see how a dynamic, humorous and exciting part of the film turns into a drama as the personification of the status quo.

Alec Guinness as Sidney Stratton really dominated the situation, at one point is tricky, and in the second comic. Of course, there are moments of hysteria, satire or cynicism, but never disappointing. I think the script is not allowed bounce in his plays. Joan Greenwood as Daphne Birnley supports the main character. Charming and rebellious aristocrat. Development of romance is also one of the funniest parts of the movie. Other characters are pretty entertaining.
