The Invisible Man
“H.G. Wells’ fantastic, out-of-this-world show!”
Carlotta Hempstead's stage play adaptation of H.G. Wells's novella presents a maniacal scientist, Jack Griffin, played by Claude Rains, who unleashes his own invisibility formula upon himself. Obsessed with reversing his condition, Griffin becomes a fugitive, driven by paranoia and the toxic effects of the formula. Director James Whale's film captures the psychological torment and physical terror of Griffin's plight, as he wreaks havoc on a small English town. The camera work and set design emphasize the protagonist's intangibility and the fear it incites, making this a classic of horror and science fiction.
