Invisible Agent

The Invisible Man joins The Armed Forces in this entertaining film. Released almost 8 months after The United States entered World War II, this more comedy than horror movie delights the audience almost as much as when Abbott and Costello had their run in this classic monster.

More of a spy movie than a horror one but it surprisingly works.

Watchable sci fi action comedy, Attractive female lead, Lots of slapstick,

The Invisible Man becomes a master spy in "The Invisible Agent". I was a bit skeptical about this movie going in, but I must admit it was much better than I expected. Yes, it is not perfect, but it is a very good movie. The cast is actually quite good. The late Jon Hall is very good as the hero of this movie as Frank Griffin, Jr. the grandson of the original invisible man who is asked by the United States Government to help in the fight against the Axis Powers during World War 2. Griffin is asked to use his grandfather's formula in order to infiltrate Nazi strongholds to obtain vital information regarding a planned attack on the United States by the Nazis and obtain a list of Nazi and Japanese spies currently working in the United States. Hall is helped by a very good supporting cast. The late Ilona Massey is actually very good as Maria Sorenson. Hall's contact in Nazi territory and eventual love interest (Who saw that coming.). Much to my surprise the movie held my interest from start to finish. The climax is actually very well done and the invisible man effects are quite impressive. Overall, "The Invisible Agent" is actually a very good and entertaining movie that is worth seeing. Give it a look when you can!

Now this is how you do it if you want to turn Invisible Man into a screwball comedy. It's a fun adventure film, that feels like the natural progression for a character like this.

The Invisible Man joins the war effort for the allies during WWII. A fairly entertaining for a war-era propaganda film. Racially problematic in spots though, as so many films of this time period were.

Though another odd turn for the story of the invisible man, it's still unique and serves as a product of its time but in a good way.

It strays far from the horror element, but is still highly entertaining and very well made.

While it breaks away from the roots of the original film, it's pretty interesting on its own. The characters are decent enough, and there's plenty of fun invisible gags. It's not so much of a horror movie, but for a spy flick it's great.

Features a very recognizable supporting cast, including Keye Luke and Peter Lorre.
