The Invisible Man is a 1933 Universal Horror film, directed by James Whale and starring Claude Rains. It is based on the novel by H. G. Wells.One snowy night, a mysterious stranger (Rains), his face swathed in bandages and his eyes obscured by dark goggles, comes to a sleepy English town and books himself a room at the local inn. The stranger is not interested in interacting with the locals, demanding to be left alone and isolating himself in his room, but he quickly becomes the talk of the town as it becomes evident that he conducts strange scientific experiments behind the closed doors. Eventually the stranger falls behind on his rent, and after one of his experiments makes a mess of the room, the innkeeper is finally fed up with his weird behavior and tries to kick him out, only to be beaten up and thrown out by the man instead. This altercation attracts the attention of the local police constable, who gathers some villagers as backup in an attempt to take the stranger into custody. Far from intimated by this, the stranger starts laughing maniacally at his would-be captors, and — taking off his goggles and bandages before the astonished eyes of the gathered men — reveals himself to be completely invisible underneath them.From this point on, the story follows the invisible man's trail of destruction and terror across the land as he attempts to either find a cure for his condition or take over the country (whichever is more likely). He is eventually discovered to be a scientist named Griffin, who was engaging in some illicit experiments. His old girlfriend Flora is played by Gloria Stuart, 64 years before Stuart starred as the old Rose in Titanic. Henry Travers, best known for his role as Clarence Oddbody in It's a Wonderful Life, plays Dr. Cranley, Flora's father and Griffin's mentor.A sequel, called The Invisible Man Returns and starring Vincent Price in the title role, was produced in 1940. That same year Universal would also release the more comedic film The Invisible Woman.A remake was produced as a standalone film in conjunction with Blumhouse, and was directed by Leigh Whannell (Upgrade). In this version of the story, Cecilia (Elisabeth Moss) is the protagonist, while the title character (Oliver Jackson-Cohen) is the antagonist. The remake was released in 2020. | |

Gratuitous Laboratory Flasks: Griffin has a bunch of lab glassware on a table in his room at the inn — enough to make Mrs. Hall complain that her guest has "turned my best sitting room into a chemist's shop" — including a retort that seems to serve no purpose. The only piece of equipment he's ever seen doing anything with is a beaker he mixes something in. | |

Motive Decay: Griffin initially has the understandable goal of finding a cure for his condition so he can return to normal. Then his search for the cure is motivated so that he and Kemp can take turns terrorizing the world as the Invisible Man. The decay mutates into its ultimate form when Griffin rants to Flora that once he's cured, he plans to sell both technologies to the highest bidder and make a fortune while his customer terrorizes the world with an army created from his genius. | |

Jerkass Has a Point: Though she's the catalyst for the Invisible Man going off the deep end, the Innkeeper's wife isn't wrong to say Griffin can't stay around if he's behind on his payment.

Foreshadowing: Towards the climax, one of the police officers tells the chief that sooner or later, Griffin's got to sleep, and perhaps they may catch him asleep. Guess what happens one scene later. | |

Insecure Love Interest | |
| The Invisible Man (1933) / int_a16d511d | comment |
Insecure Love Interest: Late in the film, Griffin confides in Flora that he always felt self-conscious about how he had so little to his name while her father and Kemp were so much better off despite them being his peers. This shame had Griffin turn himself into his own test subject in haste for the glory, fortune, and pride that would come with becoming a trailblazer in science, even though Flora had always loved him for who he was. | |

Mood Whiplash: A comedic scene where the Invisible Man chases the Iping villagers out of the pub ends with him suddenly murdering the police inspector by bashing his head in with a stool. Then he starts playing seemingly harmless pranks before derailing a passenger train. | |

Conspicuous Gloves | |
| The Invisible Man (1933) / int_b88eda46 | comment |
Conspicuous Gloves: The 1933 film is set in winter, so gloves don't really look that odd until Griffin goes indoors and doesn't take them off, or later on when he's wearing them with pajamas and a robe. The Vincent Price sequel (1940's The Invisible Man Returns) is set in warmer weather, so it looks a bit stranger for him to wear them in most instances. The title character of The Invisible Woman (also released in 1940) can get by with it more considering the social customs of the period included women wearing gloves (and hats, for that matter), so it doesn't stand out so much. | |

Irony: There's a scene where the nation has been alerted to the Invisible Man's presence. Everybody is scrambling, locking their doors and shutting their windows. ...And we cut to Griffin, sleeping soundly in the guest room, not a care in the world. | |

Tuneless Song of Madness | |
| The Invisible Man (1933) / int_c3ab9165 | comment |
Tuneless Song of Madness: Griffin loves singing while causing chaos, in one instance chasing a terrified woman down a country lane while warbling "Here We Go Gathering Nuts In May," and in another, stealing cash from a bank and nearly sparking a riot by throwing it at passers-by, gleefully belting out "Pop Goes The Weasel" as the crowd scrambles for the money. | |

Determinator | |
| The Invisible Man (1933) / int_e567510d | comment |
Determinator: Griffin goes 15 miles, on foot, through the snow, naked to get to Kemp's house. When he finally gets there, he wants to sit down, and says he'll want food and sleep, but first he wants to go back to the inn he was staying at and get his notes. So they hop in the car and he prepares to go get naked in the snow again. (While they're driving, he at least has a blanket.) Not to mention the fact that he spent five years working all night every night on his invisibility serum. Apparently for Griffin, sleep is for the dead. | |

Undying Loyalty | |
| The Invisible Man (1933) / int_f16da697 | comment |
Undying Loyalty: Dr. Cranley is the type who, when interrogated by the Police as to whether or not Griffin is the Invisible Man, will simply say he's out of town to cover for him. And this with the understanding that despite his crimes, he's simply being affected by the invisibility formula messing with his mind. As opposed to Kemp, who so easily rats out Griffin as the culprit, Cranley displays more loyalty in one scene than most men do their entire lives. | |
