Sidney Stratton (Alec Guinness), a humble inventor, develops a fabric, which never gets dirty or wears out. Unsurprisingly, however all sides of the garment trade conspire to prevent its success. This black comedy casts a satirical eye over the confrontation between altruism and the commercial world. Innocence and bluster, avarice and ambition, camaraderie and capitalism, joy and consternation, all alternate at a pell-mell rush in this classic tale of caution and comedy. |
