Description of this Poster The Invisible Man
The Invisible Man is a 1933 American science fiction horror film directed by James Whale. Based on HG Wells' The Invisible Man (1897) and produced by Universal Pictures, the film stars Claude Rains, Gloria Stuart and William Harrigan. The film features Dr Jack Griffin (Rains), covered in bandages and his eyes hidden by dark glasses, the result of a secret experiment which makes him invisible, who lives in the village of Iping. Never leaving his quarters, the stranger demands that the staff leave him completely alone until his landlady discovers that he is invisible. Griffin returns to the laboratory of his mentor, Dr. Cranley (Henry Travers), where he reveals his secret to Dr. Kemp (William Harrigan) and his former fiancée Flora Cranley (Gloria Stuart), who soon learn that Griffin's discovery makes him crazy, which leads him to prove his superiority over others by playing harmless pranks at first, then turning to murder.
The Invisible Man was in development for Universal as early as 1931, when Richard L. Schayer and Robert Florey suggested that Wells' novel would make a good sequel to Dracula, the studio's hit horror film. Universal chose to make Frankenstein in 1931. Several screenplay adaptations were written and several potential directors, including Florey, EA Dupont, Cyril Gardner and screenwriters John L. Balderston, Preston Sturges and Garrett Fort, signed on to develop the project in intending to make a film for Boris Karloff. After working on The Old Dark House and The Kiss Before the Mirror, Whale signed on and fellow screenwriter RC Sherriff developed a script in London. Production began in June 1933 and ended in August 1933, with two months of special effects work following filming's completion.
When it was released in 1933, the film was a great financial success for Universal and received good reviews from several specialized publications, including the New York Times, which placed it among its best films of the year 1933. The film gave birth to to several relatively unrelated sequels to the original film in the 1940s and a remake in 2020. The film has continued to receive praise in re-evaluations by critics such as Carlos Clarens, Jack Sullivan and Kim Newman, and has been rated among their favorite genre films by filmmakers John Carpenter, Joe Dante and Ray Harryhausen. In 2008, The Invisible Man was selected by the Library of Congress for inclusion in the United States National Film Registry due to its "cultural, historical, or aesthetic significance."
