Claude Rains is the original 'The Invisible Man' on Peacock
Claude Rains is the original ‘The Invisible Man’ on Peacock
Claude Rains practically owns his film debut The Invisible Man (1933) despite the fact that his face (let alone his body) is seen only for seconds in the final moments. As the brilliant scientist who discovers the secret of invisibility, Rains steps into the film wrapped up like a mummy behind a layer of bandages and blanketed in heavy clothes. When he removes his garments, there’s nothing…
