Dec 12: The Man in the White Suit (1951) dir. Alexander Mackendrick
An absolute classic Ealing Comedy, with a number of classic scenes and performances.
The Man in the White Suit also has one of the most memorable sound effects of any film. It is a satire on commodities and endless consumption, and also the way that a product like this would be viewed by those who had made their wealth from particular products and monopolies on production. There is a great performance from Alec Guinness as always.
Also features another wonderful performance from Joan Greenwood.
Here's the trailer:
And the sound effect:
