Viewing Notes

Another Abbott and Costello I haven’t seen. This forgoes the horror for a crime story involving a boxer who becomes the invisible man then has Lou Costello step in for him in the boxing matches. Because it drops all the horror elements it’s not quite as effective. This would’ve been a better and possibly terrifying film had they played it straight w/o the humor. I’d like to see that story.
