The Man in the White Suit

  (1951)
Sidney Stratton (Alec Guinness) invents an indestructible cloth that never gets dirty and celebrates by having a white suit made of the fabric. But soon, the lowly mill workers start fearing for their jobs, while the mill owners, led by the decrepit Sir John Kierlaw (Ernest Thesiger), worry about their profits. Chase scenes and double-crosses ensue as the impish Stratton (wearing his luminous suit) struggles to defend his discovery from the mob.
