Claude Rains did such a fantastic job. His body language, movements, his speech perfectly convey a man with a very troubled soul, desperate for help.. if only his madness would allow it. And you never see his face until the end! He deserved an Oscar. This scene and the "There must be a way back.. God knows there's a way back!" scene always hits me hard, every time. Without a doubt the BEST universal monster.
What’s more fascinating than that is the fact of Her being American and Him British and to hear them talk I can barely tell the difference of the dialects.
Rains is so good here. He's fully aware he must physically embody the emotions and does it so superbly, he strikes so many iconic key poses worthy of a comic book you can pause almost anywhere and have yourself a poster. I assume James Whale had a hand in that as the same goes for Karloff in Frankenstein. The influence of German Expression where every frame (in certain key scenes, not the entire film) could be a painting.
I know, right? By the way, have you ever seen Phantom of the Opera (1943)? Claude Rains plays The Phantom of the Opera! And, WOW! Claude played a very handsome Phantom! One of my favorites Phantoms, actually!
Agreed. Claude Rains IS the Invisible Man. Vincent Price IMO would have been better had Returns been made a decade later when his voice had become more the classic Vincent Price voice we all love. He was in his late 20s in Returns and clearly still growing into his voice. Jon Hall personally didn’t do much for me. Franz was ok but nothing to really write home about.
@@crissrudd4554- Hell yeah as Vincent Price had the perfect voice when he appeared in the end of "Abbott and Costello Meet Frankenstein ",once it comes to lighting up a cigarette along with his voice causing the infamous comic duo diving off a row boat!! Plus even though horror films don't scare me much even as a kid, but once it comes to Vincent Price in "House on Haunted Hill ", I at 10 years old at the time found him quite eerily!!
One of the most fantastic and powerful scenes in any monster movie, ever that I can think of. Claude is a truly superb genius of stage and screen, and the most telling fact about this is that he achieves all this without using ANY facial expressions or ANY eye movement.
Have you ever seen Phantom of the Opera (1943)? Claude’s portrayal of The Phantom character is WAY better than Lon Cheney Sr.’s 1925 portrayal! I don’t have anything against Lon Cheney Sr., but his makeup for the role was just, shall we say, no good. Sorry, Lon Cheney Sr. fans (Phans)
The actress sure had a thing for playing women that dated men named Jack, whether it's in The Invisible Man or Titanic. Also acting as women with names relating to plants.
POWER, I said. Power to walk into the gold vaults of nation’s, into the secrets of kings, into the Holy of Holies, power to make multi-ton run and squealing in terror at the touch of my little invisible finger. Even the moon’s frightened of me, frightened to death, THE WHOLE WORLD IS FRIGHTENED TO DEATH‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️ GODDAMN, I love this scene and role of this movie❤️❤️❤️❤️😭😭😭😭
H.G. Wells had very mixed feelings about this movie. He loved Claude Rains' performance and the special effects, but he wasn't too happy with making Griffin a sympathetic character (in the book, he was already a cruel man before he turned invisible). But he was very unhappy with how they introduced a love interest for Griffin, he felt it "Hollywooded" the story too much.
I think he was right. And yet the start of the film up until he escapes is very close to the book, just compressed. And Rains is superb. The love interest stuff was silly, but that's the Hollywood way, always has been and always will be.
Great acting! Hollywood always makes things worse in a vain effort to make money. My interpretation of the book was that he was trying to undo the scientific accident and the populous was so scared of what they couldn't see or understand that they hunted him down. Their fear overpowered their humanity towards him. The book seemed to have a powerful lesson that Hollywood turned into, you should fear what you don't understand.
Rains had one of the greatest performance voices of all time. I do not think there is an actor alive today that has an instrument even near what he possessed.
I love how the invisible man was honest he was broke and just wanted money and fame to get back flora and help support her but the experiment turned him crazy and unstable
The Invisible Man talking about how the world fears him due to his invisibility with his fiance in the room is like me listening to my fiance discuss how he's going to beat his friends at Yugioh 😅😂😂😂
Dogs are smart! They have a sixth sense about people. They can smell ill intentions. So, the Dig was using his/her sixth sense along with his/her nose.
Yes, Old Rose from Titanic. She made dozens of films in the 1930’s and this was just one of them. From the WW2 era onward, she was in maybe a dozen movies and TV guest appearances before Titanic. But how many people knew or cared? That’s sad! But that’s how the entertainment industry works.
Old Rose: That was the last I ever saw him again....The love of my life.... Another Older Voice In The Room: What the hell do you mean "saw" me, woman? I've been here the whole time!! 60 years of being together and you still hold that against me! Pfft, married life, am I right fellas? Titanic Expedition Team: AAAAHHHH
Claude Rains had a voice that no one else had. It was “his” voice. It was half English, half American, with a little bit of Cockney thrown in there for good measure.
I love Claude Rains' costume here! He looks very dapper and handsome in his Dressing Gown and Glasses! But, Erique Claudin outshines Dr. Jack Griffin, in my heart!
Is It True Universal Studios Wanted Boris Karloff For The Role Of Dr.Jack Griffin aka "The Invisible Man" ,But Turned It Down Because First His Voice Was Not Good Enough And Second The Script Called For The Invisible Man Character To Remain Invisible Until The Very End Of The Film"? I Await Your Answer.
The studio wanted to cut his salary so he walked. Supposedly he also wasn’t interested in the part since he wouldn’t be seen til the end. While Karloff has a great voice for horror and probably would have made an effective Invisible Man, I have difficulty picturing him displaying rage to the level Claude Rains did. Colin Clive who played Henry Frankenstein was also considered but turned it down. He would have done a good job IMO.

@@matthewbulger5876 He auditioned for the role but the Casting didn't think he had the face for it. Whale said "I don't care about his looks, I want that voice."
Dr. Jack Griffin: Flora. Why yes, of course. How could I forget? Yes, of course you must let them in. I shall go and prepare myself in my room. I shall see Flora. Alone. Flora, my darling. I would have come to you at once, Flora, but for this. How wonderful is to see you. How beautiful you look. That funny little hat, I always liked it. You’ve been crying. For you, Flora. Yes, for you, my darling. I wanted to do something tremendous, to achieve what men of science have dreamt of since the world began, to gain wealth and fame and honor, to write my name above the greatest scientists of all time. I was so pitifully poor. I had nothing to offer you, Flora. I was just a poor, struggling chemist. I shall come to you, Flora, very soon now. The secret of invisibility lies there in my books.
I think it's more the "midatlantic" voice you are hearing. It was kind of like a blend of American and British. Considering it was used as the sort of etiquette form of speaking when acting. Nowadays, people don't use the etiquette form anymore. It has been deemed a bit theatrical. And that many actors have moved on to do method acting, which seems closer to how normal people talk in their day to day life. It's rare now to hear the "midatlantic" accent today.

An age old problem between authors and movie makers that will never be solved.
It's usually like that when it comes to movies and such. They always water down some aspects to appeal more to the audience.
