Review Summaries

"THE AMAZING TRANSPARENT MAN is a movie directed by Edgar G. Ulmer in 1960. Maj. Paul Krenner helps the famous thief Joey Faust to escape from prison. He is also blackmailing a scientist who's discovered the formula of invisibility. Krenner needs Faust in order to steal a great quantity of radium from the federal safes that will allow the scientist to go on with his experiments. Faust is made invisible but soon rebels against Krenner whose ultimate wish is to create an army of invisible men."
