O Homem do Terno Branco

Sinopse

Sidney Stratton, a brilliant young research chemist and former University of Cambridge scholarship recipient, has been dismissed from jobs at several textile mills in the Northern England because of his demands for expensive facilities and his obsession with inventing an everlasting fibre. Whilst working as a labourer at the Birnley Mill, he accidentally becomes an unpaid researcher and invents an incredibly strong fibre which repels dirt and never wears out. From this fabric, a suit is made—which is brilliant white because it cannot absorb dye and slightly luminous because it includes radioactive elements.
