Alexander MacKendrick (The Man with a White Suit & Sweet Smell of Success)

Archaeon

Season Finale Baby!

This week, I am joined by Graham (POP SCREEN) and Aidan (LB) to talk about Ealing man turned award-winning educator, Alexander MacKendrick. A man whose teachings have been turned into one of the definitive filmmaking books, “on Filmmaking” it’s called, funnily enough. As for his films, we look at one of his Ealing Classics, 1951’s The Man with a White Suit and 1957’s furious New York satire, the Sweet Smell of Success.
