The Invisible Man Summary Claude Rains Delivers A Remarkable Performance In His Screen Debut As A Mysterious Doctor Who Discovers A Serum That Makes Him Invisible. Covered By Bandages And Dark Glasses, Rains Arrives At A Small English Village And Attempts To Hide His Amazing Discover. But The Same Drug Which Rends Him Invisible Slowly Drives Him To Commit Acts Of Unspeakable Terror. Based On H.g. Well' Classic Novel And Direct By The Master Of Macabre James Whale, The Invisible Man No Only Fueled A Host Of Sequels But Features Some Special Effects That Are Still Imitated Today.

Claude Rains practically owns his film debut in The Invisible Man, despite the fact that his face (let alone his body) is seen only for seconds in the final moments. As the brilliant scientist who discovers the secret of invisibility, Rains steps into the film wrapped up like a mummy behind a layer of bandages and blanketed in heavy clothes. When he removes his garments, there's nothing underneath, a simple but effective bit of 1930s movie magic that, apart from a few glitches, works as well today as it did in 1933. Like Frankenstein, another cautionary tale of science gone horribly wrong, the consequences of the doctor's experiments are dire: the chemicals drive him insane. Director James Whale infuses the film with plenty of humor, much of it arising from the quaint quirks of the local villagers, but it turns to black comedy as the doctor transforms from an impish prankster upsetting bicycles and taunting tavern patrons to a megalomaniac bent on world domination. It's slow going even at 71 minutes, but full of delightful touches and boasts a terrific performance by the all but unseen Rains, whose rich, cultured voice envelopes the picture in a kind of omnipresent fog. Vincent Price took up the role in the sequel, The Invisible Man Returns. --Sean Axmaker
