Streaming Thoughts: The Man in the White Suit

In managing to watch another one of the movies on Kanopy I noticed quite some time ago, I got around to a film I’d known about for rather longer than that. The library in my home town had a book about “twenty all-time great science fiction films,” from Things to Come to A Clockwork Orange (although it had been written a decade after the latest movie it covered), and one of its choices was The Man in the White Suit. That movie could have seemed interesting just because it was described as taking place on a modest scale at the time it was made (early-1950s England), but I suppose it starring Alec Guinness would have got my attention too.
