So goes to conversation between Edward Everett Horton and Willie Best in this silly supernatural comedy that deals with scientist Horton able to bring dead spider monkeys back to life and now wanting to try that with humans. He comes across Jeffrey Lynn line passed out in a morgue with a lily in his hand and thinking he's dead, gives him his concoction which doesn't necessarily bring him back from the dead but renders him invisible.
As Lynn is engaged to be married, his situation becomes precarious as you can't get married when all they can see is your clothing, and for fiancee Marguerite Chapman and mother-in-law to be Natalie Schafer, that's a real issue. With the help of Best and Horton's daughter Jane Wyman, Horton desperately tries to bring him back to visibility, but hopefully with clothes on. Wyman later becomes invisible too adding to the fun.
While Lynn and Wyman are the young and attractive romantic couple (their romantic scenes with Lynn's head unseen are quite amusing), it's Horton and Best who get the best material. Not much different than the same year's "Topper Returns" (with Best doing basically the same thing as Eddie "Rochester" Anderson) and "The Invisible Woman", yet you could watch all three in one sitting and not be bored. Pretty good Warner Brothers B comedy is filled with silliness, a theme that never goes out of style.
