Not Vincent Price Though.
27 October 2013
Abbott & Costello play Bud Alexander & Lou Francis, two recent graduates of a private detective agency whose first case involves helping fugitive boxer Tommy Nelson(played by Arthur Franz) who is wanted for the murder of his manager. Tommy insists he's innocent, and is aided by a scientist who has acquired the invisibility formula of the original Invisible Man(Claude Rains' picture is seen!) Of course, this formula causes Tommy to gradually go insane, but not before he helps Lou trap the real killers by assisting him in the ring, where he is now "Louie The Looper". Funny comedy makes up for not having Vincent Price by creating clever gags around being invisible, with good F/X and energetic direction. A worthy follow-up to "Meet Frankenstein"(and not a sequel either, just an amusing spoof.)
