Director: James Whale

Writer: R. C. Sherriff

From novel: The Invisible Man by H. G. Wells

Producer: Carl Laemelle, Jr.

Keywords: Drama, Invisibility, Secret Formula, Experiment Gone Awry, Explosions

A scientist discovers the secret to invisibility; as he struggles to develop an antidote, he descends into megalomaniacal madness. Excellent dialogue particularly from Claude Rains in his first major role; a delightful strain of dark humor runs through the film. Still powerful despite the passage of many decades. Entered 2008 into the National Film Registry.
