I believe Alec Guinness made a number of great films for Ealing. All of them gems.

I hope they did a good job with the digital remastering, as the original films were in poor condition.
Several British film studios took over from Ealing and tried to keep the same mood. One produced a sequel to Whiskey Galore entitled Rockets Galore. There was a migration of sorts to a more slapstick style, such as in The Mouse That Roared. This lead into the great British comedy revolution in the 1960s.
There was a stage version of Man in the White Suit at London’s Wyndham Theatre a year ago, and the play was touring in England right as the lockdown happened in March. I regret missing that by just days!
