Movie review - Invisible #1 - "The Invisible Man" (1933) ****

Not as famous maybe as Universal's Dracula, Frankenstein or The Mummy but for my mind a better film than all of them (though I think Bride of Frankenstein is better than this). It is a perfectly realised shocker, laced with James Whale's humour via the wacky English villagers but that doesn't overwhelm the intelligence and believabilty of the mad invisible man. RC Sheriff's script is top notch - he was perfect for this kind of material - and Claude Rains' silky tones make him the ideal invisible man. I like how too his rival in love is a skunk and not some bland male lead.
