Has the invisible man ever been played by the same actor twice? I expect it’s hard to get a guy to repeat a role in which his face is hidden (or not there to begin with) throughout most if not all of the picture. And of course the studio has no particular need to keep the same actor in the role. Thus while Claude Rains made the original role famous, this time around it’s a young Vincent Price behind the bandages. Sadly, this movie doesn’t offer much that we didn’t already get in the first one. As a result, it’s a bit on the boring side. Mildly amusing
