Great Comedy, 21 March 2008
6/10
Author: whpratt1 from United States

Enjoyed this great 1942 comedy starring Jon Hall, (Frank Raymond) and Peter Lorre, (Baron Ikto) and Cedric Hardwiche, (Conrad Staffer). Frank uses his grandfather's secret formula which can make a person become invisible in order to find out secret information from Nazi Germany. It is believed that the Nazi's are going to bomb the United States and Frank is set to find out this information. Cedric Hardwicke. (Conrad Stauffer) plays the role as a Nazi officer who wants to catch the Invisible Agent and obtain his secrets. Ilona Massey, (Marie Sorenson) helps Frank Raymond who is very suspicious of her involvement in this situation. There is lots of comedy and Peter Lorre gave a great supporting role. Enjoy.
