A silly, affable movie about a scientist working on an invisibility formula, The Invisible Woman is well paced and sometimes quite amusing. Still, its mix of scientists, millionaires Illinois gangsters, and models, seems a bit disjointed.
The movie has a slow start, but things pick up once it moves on to the invisibility gags. The romance is fantastically unconvincing, but what do you expect for a movie like this?
The cast is quite good, particularly John Barrymore, who has fun as an eccentric scientist, and Charles Ruggles as a perplexed butler. It's pretty typical of a 1940 B comedies, so if you enjoy those, as I do, it's worth watching.
