What The Man in the White Suit is
A stab at social commentary via Ealing-esque comedy. A Cambridge chemist invents an indestructible, dirt-repellent fabric to the horror of mill owners and unions alike. It's a slight film, but it did predict the coming obsolescence engineered into consumer products.
