Abbott & Costello Meet The Invisible Man
Unwind from Thanksgiving holiday madness and recover from Black Friday with the Silver Scream Spook Show! This month, it’s Abbott & Costello Meet the Invisible Man.
Kids under 12 are free at the 1PM matinee, everyone else is only $6. For the night show, all tickets are $10.
Here’s the scoop about the movie:
At the end of Abbott and Costello Meet Frankenstein, the Invisible Man, voiced by none other than Vincent Price, introduces himself to the bumbling duo. Vincent Price would not meet Abbott and Costello in their next monster film, but the Invisible Man would. Abbott and Costello Meet the Invisible Man is one of the comedy duo’s greatest films, surpassed only by Abbott and Costello Meet Frankenstein. The movie is also one of the greatest films in Universal’s “Invisible Man” series that began with The Invisible Man in 1933 and continued with The Invisible Man Returns, The Invisible Woman, Invisible Agent, and The Invisible Man’s Revenge. This 1951 film was the last “Invisible Man” film that Universal made.
The plot is very similar to the film The Invisible Man Returns, a film that did feature Vincent Price as the title character. Bud and Lou are two private detectives that are hired by boxer Tommy Nelson (Arthur Franz) to clear his name for a murder he didn’t commit. His fiancée Helen (Nancy Guild) is the niece of a scientist (Gavin Muir) that was friends with Jack Griffin; the original Invisible Man. Helen’s uncle had preserved the Invisibility serum. Tommy injects himself, ignoring the warnings that the serum can bring about insanity. Bud, Lou, and the Invisible Man are on the track of the mobsters that framed Tommy while trying to stay clear of the police that are on Nelson’s track. Television legends Sheldon Leonard (producer of “The Andy Griffith Show” and “The Dick Van Dyke Show”) and William Frawley (Fred Mertz from “I Love Lucy”) play the mob leader and a police detective.
