If The Man in the White Suit hit the spot, these will too

Witty and playful in the same breath
The difference: Made in the 1970s, in a different era of the craft

Both lean on ideas more than on comedy
The difference: The critics' underdog of the pair

Both keep coming back to the same thing: black and white
The difference: Leans further into romance

The same preoccupation in both: ealing
The difference: Lighter on ideas


Comedy built on play, twice over
The difference: Goes its own way on the ideas

Cerebral science fiction, and it commits to that

One thread runs through both: black and white


Science fiction with a pulse of play, in both cases

A streak of ideas through both

Comedy in the same key
