Deprive the average special effects film of its visual tricks and you rob it of its heart and soul. The Invisible Man, Universal’s superb 1933 filmization of one of H.G. Wells’ most enduring novels, is a firm exception to this rule. Its gripping narrative, masterful direction and believable performances elevate the film beyond mere novelty, and hold up alongside the unerring technical effects for the audience’s attention. One of the handful of fantastic films unblemished by the ravages of time, The Invisible Man is a monument to the genius of four remarkable artists: Director James Whale, screenwriter R.C. Sherriff, special effects ace John P. Fulton and star Claude Rains.
