_______


One of the lesser Invisible-Man-inspired comedies.

Jeffrey Lynn is turned invisible by a serum invented by Edward Everett Horton. Eventually Horton and heroines Marguerite Chapman ("Flight to Mars") and Jane Wyman turn invisible, too!

The special effects aren't up to the standard set by John P. Fulton in "The Invisible Man" and its sequels. Directed by Ross Lederman. Also starring Willie Best and David Bruce.

The funny trailer for this one has me just itchin' to watch it. I did find a site that has it, but it's on VEOH and I haven't yet figured out how to download movies from them. But you can watch on your computer, of course, and the quality is just fine! Very Happy

Apparently there's a colorized version of this movie, but YouTube only has this six-minute clip.

However, the black & white version at this link on VEOH has an excellent picture. Very Happy

Saw this one years ago; so~so movie.

Loved Jane Wyman in Miracle in the Rain, beautiful & moving movie.

Have read that in real life she was a no-nonsense tough customer not to be trifled with. She was said to be much like her autocrat character on Falcon Crest.

Well, by gum, in her younger days she was just the cutest thing in shoe leather (as they used to say), and I adore that gal in several 1940s movies I've enjoyed on TCM.

I gaze at her lovely and animated face like a school boy with his first crush! (*sigh*) Rolling Eyes

And yet the cold-hearted matriarch she played in Pollyanna is the villain of the piece — until Hayley Mills works her magic on the entire town! Very Happy

Jane's adorable face and impish charm is impossible to catch in a photograph, but the video below will make my point in the first few seconds, gentlemen!
Cool

I downloaded this delightful, fast-paced comedy from Veoh (<— link) with this.

It was easy, but it took about 20 minutes. Give it a try. The movie is hoot! Laughing

________________________________

IMDB has several interesting trivia items for this production. Very Happy
________________________________

~ Marguerite Chapman went on to appear in another film with an invisible protagonist, The Amazing Transparent Man (1960).

__________

Note from me: Miss Chapman wasn't the most beautiful girl in Hollywood, but in those outfits she wore in Flight to Mars she stirs my primitive nature! Twisted Evil

~ Feature film debut of Natalie Schafer, best remembered as Mrs. Howell on Gilligan's Island (1964).

Note from me: Who knew that Mrs. Howell (the one fhe left was the third babe on the island?! Shocked

The one on the right would have made a better Ginger than the overrated Tina Louise. Rolling Eyes



If you're interested in haviing a good copy of this movie, I downloaded it from Veoh, then I uploaded it to WeTransfer. Here's the link.

You've got seven days to download it you computer, after which the link will stop working. Don't miss the chance to get this funny movie buy using you right index finger (on your mouse) for something other than picking boogers (from your nose). Cool
