Watched: The Man in the White Suit

Lightly satirical, very British science fiction. I liked it. Alec Guinness plays a mad genius who invents indestructible white fabric that never gets dirty. Mill town proceeds to freak out. Fabric falls apart and Guinness is left to think about his sad fate. Also, some interesting class commentary in this one, re: management versus labor. All in all, not a bad way to spend an hour and a half. And a good concept that's well carried out, considering how few special effects there are. Which really, considering when this movie was made, is to its benefit.
