Transparency is not all that bad, is it?, 8 September 2001

Talented direction from James Whale. Mildly chilling tale based on the
imagination of H.G. Wells. Introduction to a versatile star, Claude Rains.
Short movie in length, but the mixture of thrills, chills and humor help
make this a real classic. The special effects of the 30's seem so
unsophisticated, but very enjoyable to this day. Rain's starring debut is
99.98 percent vocal and very memorable. The changes in his voice from glee
to madness gives certain character to his invisible role.
A brilliant chemist/scientist(Rains) discovers how to make himself
invisible. He wrecks havoc in a small British country village as pranks turn
to murder. Memorable are the scenes of the invisible man smoking and riding
a bicycle; and of course unwrapping.
Also in the cast are:William Harrigan, Gloria Stuart, E.E. Clive and Una
O'Connor. At a certain point you wish that O'Connor's funny, but obnoxious
character was shorter lived. Dated or not, this is a classic that still
demands watching. Creepy and fun for all.
