Based on H.G. Wells’
novel, the Invisible Man starred a novice movie actor, Claude Rains. Carl
Laemmle, the studio head at the time, ordered a full-effort ad campaign after
viewing the initial rough cut of the movie. Even H.G. Wells loved the film, and
wrote director James Whale to tell him so.
The style is typical of
illustrator Karoly Grosz, who created many images for Universal’s horror flicks,
including Dracula (1931), Frankenstein (1931), The Old Dark House (1932), The
Mummy (1932), Murders in the Rue Morgue (1932), The Bride of Frankenstein
(1935), Wives Under Suspicion (1938)
Cast: Claude Rains, Gloria Stuart, Dudley Digges, William Harrigan,
Una O'Connor, E.E. Clive, Dwight Frye, Henry Travers, Holmes Herbert, John
Carradine, Walter Brennan; Directed by:
James Whale
