This film truly has the right to be called a masterpiece. Set entirely to the strains of Bach, a mad genuis successfully turns himself invisible (his hand, anyway) but soon finds that his great achievement causes him great trouble when the local police captain comes by to question him about unpaid rent. Not a parody by any standards, The Invisible Hand lives up to the spirit of H.G. Wells' original novel about an invisible madman and the price of scientific advances.

The Invisible Man is a science fiction novella by H.G. Wells published in 1897. Originally serialised in Pearson's Weekly in 1897, it was published as a novel the same year. The Invisible Man of the title is Griffin, a scientist who has devoted himself to research into optics and invents a way to change a body's refractive index to that of air so that it absorbs and reflects no light and thus becomes invisible. He successfully carries out this procedure on himself, but fails in his attempt to reverse the procedure.

It was also adapted into a highly successful film by Universal Pictures starring Claude Rains in the title role.
