    Invisible Ghost

    Partner rating: G
    1:05:40 | 1941

    Invisible Ghost is far from the best of Bela Lugosi's Monogram vehicles (if indeed there is such a thing), but with Joseph H. Lewis at the controls it is far and away the best directed. Lugosi is cast as Kessler, an otherwise normal gentleman who goes balmy whenever he thinks about his late wife (Betty Compson). It gets worse when Kessler is tra...

    1:10:21 | 1941

Talbot soon learns how when he...
