Day 1: The Invisible Man (1933)


"Power, I said! Power to walk into the gold vaults of the nations, into the secrets of kings, into the Holy of Holies; power to make multitudes run squealing in terror at the touch of my little invisible finger. Even the moon's frightened of me, frightened to death! The whole world's frightened to death!"
- Dr. Jack Griffin

Starring: Clause Rains, Gloria Stuart, William Harrigan, Henry Travers, Una O'Connor, Forrester Harvey, Dudley Digges, E. E. Clive
Directed By: James Whale
Trailer: "You're CRAZY to know who I am!!"

Premise: A mysterious, bandage-covered stranger arrives at the Lion's Head inn.  After being rude and violent to the owners, the law is called upon him. It's soon revealed that the stranger is completely invisible, and has mad ambitions of world conquest.

My familiarity with this movie:
LOVED the book as a teenager. Read it multiple times in middle and high school. Caught the movie on Netflix several years back, and ended up loving it as well.
