Review of The Invisible Woman (1940) by James-Masaki R — 20 Jun 2010
Kurt Siodmak and Joe May are known for their 1930s and 1940s writing, but this 1940 film is a slapstick comedy taking of the Invisible Man story. 1930s comedy I find very funny. But once it got to WWII, the jokes were tamer, and the humor wasn't all that funny. The Invisible Woman is is mostly silly comedy, but it barely holds up today, sadly. Although it is one of the better surprises in the "Invisible Man" series.
A wealthy playboy funds an eccentric scientist, who has created an invisibility machine. When a fashion model who is irritated by her job comes in as the test subject, her intentions are not for science, but of kicking her boss right in the pants! Hahaha!
