Bud Abbot and Lou Costello were an amazing comic team who endeared themselves to their fans with the kind of humor they projected; theirs was the kind of good fun with a lot of sight gags that made them one of the favorite duo in the movies for quite a while.

Universal, their studio, decided to showcased them in a series of movies that involved the “monsters” in its roster. This film is not one of those, but because of the usage of the amazing visual effects employed in using the visual effects in the “Invisible Man”, it became a winner from the start.

This was one of the best Abbot and Costello’s best movies. Both do excellent work under the direction of Charles Lamont. Arthur Franz, who is not “seen” enough is good as Tommy, the man accused of a crime he didn’t commit. Sheldon Leonard is one of the gangsters that are manipulating the boxing matches. Nancy Guild and Adele Jergens are welcome additions to the movie.

Best of all are the boxing scenes involving Lou Costello as the amazing new boxer, Lou, “The Looper”, who goes to beat Rocky, his better equipped opponent with a little help of his invisible friend.
