Some of the finest bits of deceptive photo-coupled with illusions and only Hollywood may mi of this film ey in as much in 1033. Only "Dr. Jekyll and Mr lo" in certain sequences could come up to it.

Tense thrills are mingled with comedy in due proportions. The supporting cast unfortunately are subordinated to mechanics of the production, but no one will worry about that—the only cause for regret is that one hears Mr. Claude Rains voice throughout without seeing his face until, as the invisible man he pictured on his deathbed. The passage of five years does not detract from the film's outstanding features and no one should fail to see it—LP.R.
