Abbott and Costello meet the Invisible Man is their adventure as two private eyes hired by boxer (Arthur Franz) to prove his innocent of murdering his manager. Franz takes the invisibility serum and with the aid of Costello acting as a "champion" boxer, with Frantz doing the boxing, the duo find the real killer.
Franz takes the same invisibility serum as Claude Rains took in the original The Invisible Man. You will see his picture hanging in the scientist's lab.
Abbott and Costello later meet Dr. Jekyll and Hyde (1953) and The Mummy (1955); they had already met Frankenstein (1948) and The Killer Boris Karloff (1949).

This movie of Abbott and Costello is one of the weirdest, but wonderfully made. It all begins when a radio bulletin announces that an escapee from jail is lurking around the city. When he comes home, he tells the doctor friend of his to inject him with a shot that will make him invisible, but the doctor refuses, explaning the risk and symptoms he'll encounter are fatal, and can do permanent damage, such as blindness, to him. But when the police come, and the escaped prisoner is the only one left in the doctor's lab, he injects himself, and then Costello comes in, and tries to shake his hand, but just before it can, it becomes invisible! This movie has too much to say, so watch the rest for yourself. I highly reccomend this one.

yes this is one of Bud and Lou's best, especially considering the low quality of some of their other films from this period. (Comin Round The Mountain for example.) However Universal didn't impress me with the new packaging with the trailers and the Woody Woodpecker cartoon. The trailer has had the titles removed, and the cartoon is the same one that's on the Hold That Ghost video. Considering the high quality and the great nostalgia in the first 6 re-releases, I was highly dissapointed in this one. It seems Universal's main concern was getting it out in time for the Halloween promotion, and they didn't give it the care it deserved. Great film, but if you own a previous version, don't waste the money for the extras this time around.

My two children were able to watch all three of these movies for the fist time the other day. It was wonderful to see their eyes light up at all the funny faces that Lou Costello made and the wise cracks of Bud Abbott. But what was truly rare for them was to watch pure simple comedy that isn't around today. These movies proved to be as wonderful today as they were when they were made. Both of my children (ages 9 and 6) couldn't wait for the next one to start. Thank you to Abbott and Costello for the pure, simple comedy that will live on in our home for a long time.

What makes ABBOT & COSTELLO MEET FRANKENSTEIN dynamic is that Bella Lugosi and Lon Chaney Jr. play the monster roles as straight as their audence expects. They should have received bonuses for restraint! It's funny, scarry, and flies with an active story and creative cast. IN ABBOT & COSTELLO MEET THE INVISIBLE MAN, the boys are fresh out of detective school and looking for a place to start. A famous boxer, Tommy Nelson is wrongfully accused of murder. By a freak lab insident, Tommy is made invisible and needs LOU and ABBOT to find a rat in and out of the boxing ring. You have to see the fight scene with Costello. It roars! Excellent combination.
