Having enjoyed watching some of The Road To..films with my dad.I was really hoping the this would be a similar type of film,and,though it does not break the fourth wall or has as many in-jokes as the Road movies,i still feel that it is a very good comedy with some surprisingly very well done special effects. The plot:
Straight after having graduated from their training school,Detectives Lou Francis and Bud Alexanders office gets invaded by a man,who is a boxer the is being framed for murdering his coach by some gangsters that he double-crossed.The boxer tell them that he them to help him to give the gangsters some payback,for what they have done.His very surprising idea is for both of the detectives to enter a boxing contest that the gangsters are taking bets on!.Whilst they are both at first not keen on the idea (due to neither of them being able to box),they both become very supported of the idea,when they discover that the boxer can become invisible... View on the film:
With the story and cast in the film,i though the one of the cleverest things was to have the Invisible Man not not be a scientist,but instead be a normal (though also being a extremely talented boxer) man,Whilst having the great Abbott and Costello inject plenty of funny moments into a film noir style story!!.The main part of the film,that i want to highlight are the very impressive special effects.With the dinner scene (easily one of the funniest parts in the film)and the Invisible Man changing his clothes in the car being very good,Although,some of the effects (such as a cigar "mystriusly" moving across the room)have sadly not aged as well.
Final view on the film:
A very watchable comedy,with good performances and great special effects.
