The Invisible Agent (1942)

- written July 2004

Summary: Frank Raymond is a mild-mannered bookprinter who gets accosted by a gang of foreigners hoping to find his invisibility secret. Mr. Raymond is really Mr. Frank Griffin, grandchild of the original Mr. Griffin and after he successfully fights off their advances, he visits the U.S. government for their help. In turn he turns into an “Invisible” agent to sweep into Europe and steal the plans of the Nazi’s.           Overall: Again, a non-scary sequel that was just pure U.S. WWII propaganda. That’s it and that’s all. And it really isn’t a good movie either. You can see strings attached to the supposedly invisible things, out invisible man is doing fairly stupid stuff to begin with and after all that, falls for the wrong woman. As with the other sequels, no need to watch this.           Comparison: Hollow man meets the Incredible Mr. Limpett
