The Invisible Woman 1940

Universal takes the Invisible franchise into a new direction with the goofball comedy The Invisible Woman. Unconnected to the previous films, a fashion model answers an ad for volunteers for an invisibility experiment and uses her invisibility to get revenge on her boss and foil a gangster’s plot to steal the invisibility machine. Featuring Virginia Bruce, John Barrymore, and Margaret Hamilton, the cast isn’t too bad. However, they don’t have a very good script to work with; as it’s all over the place with romance, office hijinks, a mad scientist, and gangsters. And the Invisible Woman is just too madcap a character; taking nothing seriously and causing chaos everywhere she goes. A poorly made film, The Invisible Woman is a mess.
