The Invisible Woman. 1940.
A model agrees to become a guinea pig for a eccentric professor who has created a machine that can make anyone invisible, she agrees to do it and settle a few scores until some gangsters try to take the machine.
This is what started the horror thriller with Claude Rains being a mad scientist with the first film and Vincent Price in the second feature to becoming a more science fiction comedy trend. Virginia Bruce plays model Kitty who agrees to try the machine created by Professor Gibbs played by John Barrymore. From start to finish this was a laugh even the tough gangster having the low squeaky voice makes it more comedic.
