The Invisible Man – 1933 Whale
- The Invisible man is an overlooked whale film simply because it isn’t a Frankenstein It’s his best edited film
- Claude rains is very good in a memorable first archiveable role- all vocal (and well done at that) until the final scene where he’s just lying there for 20 seconds
- The film eagerly moves—just like the camera. Love the tracking shot through the tavern in the opening and how the film tracks away from rains saddened fiancée
- Again, like in bride of Frankenstein in 1935 we have a mooning una o’connor for laughs
- Like Frankenstein this is a scientist driven mad by ego and scientific experiments
- The special effects are superb—that’s true—but whale adds to them—there are many tracking shots to simulate the movement of the invisible man. it makes the entire film concept, which should be really difficult, seem effortless
- Brisk entertaining 71 minutes
- R/HR border- leaning HR
