INVISIBLE WOMAN 1940 (UNIVERSAL)

Interesting and offbeat comedy!

Virginia Bruce stars as a young woman who answers an ad in a newspaper from a scientist who is testing a device capable of rendering someone invisible. She becomes invisible and takes revenge on her cruel boss before getting involved with three bumbling gangster who steal the professor's machine for their own use.

This is a very light, but fun entry in the "Invisible" series from Universal. Bruce does an excellent job as does the rest of the cast which includes John Barrymore, John Howard, Charles Ruggles, Oskar Homolka, Margaret Hamilton, Shemp Howard and Anne Nagel. Look quickly for Maria Montez as a model in the agency where Bruce takes revenge on her boss, played by the one and only Charles Lane.
