A great movie made sixty years ago that still applies today and shows what needs to be answered to heal the troubled marriage between capital, labor and the morality of science

The Ealing Studios comedies stand out for their timing and direction and ensemble acting, but most of all for the incredible performances of Alec Guinness, one of England's greatest actors, "The Man in The White Suit" is the best because it combines Guinness's great mirthful character with a sensational plot that transcended comedy and bore into the heart of capitalism and politics, to say nothing of the morality of science.

Another favorite film of mine with Alec Guinness is The Horse's Mouth from the book by Joyce Cary, which I read first before being delighted to discover a film had been made of it. Thanks for reminding me about The Man in the White Suit, Thad! I haven't seen it in years and years. I see it's available for instant streaming on Netflix. Guess what I'll be doing this weekend! :thumbsup:
