Leave your thoughts about The Man in the White Suit.
| Slant MagazineJoseph Jon LanthierThat Stratton proves so unable to resist his hubris surely provides the film with a cautionary subtext, but this is beautifully complicated by an ending that denies the possibility of rehabilitation. |
| Patrick NabarroPJ NabarroThe film is a paean to individualism, dreamers and pioneers, and seems to advocate that, fundamentally, society functions best on an equilibrium between capital and labour. |
| Monthly Film BulletinMFB CriticsThe picture is very enjoyable. Its observation of people, its carefully sustained tempo, its apt incidental thrusts. have real individuality and distinction. |
| DVDJournal.comMark BourneWhile on the surface it's a comic fable with a sense of humor as dry as a cracker, the movie possesses a sharp edge that rises like a shark fin above the natty British drollery. |
| Sarasota Herald-TribuneChristopher LloydAlec Guinness' sharp bird nose and watery eyes helped him play characters who were misfits on the margins of society. He made for a kindly but stubborn rebel in the Ealing comedies. |
| Ozus' World Movie ReviewsDennis SchwartzA witty Ealing Studios satirical mad scientist comedy that concerns itself with modern day societal and technological problems. |
| EmanuelLevy.ComEmanuel LevyClever and witty, this Oscar-nominated British comedy displays the talents of Alec Guinness long before he became an international star with Bridge on the River Kwai. |
| User ReviewJoe INear perfect again from Ealing Studios golden age. From a time when things seemed simpler but the same morals and questions remain. A good laugh at any rate. |
| User ReviewAnne FReally a masterpiece of social commentary. |
| User ReviewJonna VFunny, funny, funny. Sir Alec, he's a lot funnier than you'd think. |
