A very charming film, I thought. If you're fond of adolescent-girls-bonding-type films you should like this. It's sweet without being condescending or cloying. Also, watching Sellers playing a guy from Brooklyn affecting an Italian accent is a blast. It is slightly overlong, though.

The Man in the White Suit
(1951)
deliciously subversive
17 July 2000
Over the years, I've seen this film many times on PBS. It never fails to shock me. I can't believe such an old film could be so subversive, cynical and anti-capitalist. I guess 'cause I'm an American and we seem to have had rather strict codes about such things here. Even though I am a die hard Star Wars fan, this began my love of Alec Guinness. I highly recommend it.
