An expert safecracker named Faust (Douglas Kennedy) turns invisible via radioactive rays in this low-budget science fiction-crime movie hybrid, directed by cult icon Edgar G. Ulmer (DETOUR, THE MAN FROM PLANET X). A beautiful dame (Marguerite Chapman) busts Faust out of jail and takes him to a remote Texas mansion where her evil spy boyfriend Krenner (James Griffith) plans to turn him invisible and have him break into safes at heavily guarded military installations. Once invisible though, the ruthless Faust has other plans, like stealing Krenner's girl, and as much money from as many banks as he can. Bags of cash start floating out of vaults all over town, and the police are forced to admit they have no way of catching an "invisible safecracker." Ivan Triesault co-stars as Dr. Uloff, the kindly ex-Nazi scientist who has mastered the secrets of invisibility. Ulmer shot this simultaneously with BEYOND THE TIME BARRIER on the same Dallas locations. The special effects are creative if crude, and there's even a nuclear explosion in this fun, fast-paced picture. [More]
