The Invisible Man
While researching a new drug, Dr. Jack Griffin (Claude Rains) stumbles on a potion that can make him invisible. When he reveals his new ability to his old mentor (Henry Travers) and his fiancée (Gloria Stuart), it's clear that a side effect of the potion is insanity. Jack goes on a violent rampage, and the police struggle to hunt him down, unable to see their target, while his mentor and his former partner (William Harrigan) desperately try to devise a plan to capture him.
Critic Reviews:
- " Under the supervision of James Whale, the director of “Frankenstein” and “The Old Dark House” the doings of the Invisible Man have been set forth with extraordinary realism. " – SMH Staff
- " A marvel of film technique. " – Age Staff
- " Rains, whose expressive gestures are also vital to his performance, recognised it as a career-making opportunity, a whole film that builds up to the revelation of his face. " – Kim Newman
