(1) The Invisible Man Returns. A very enjoyable sequel with a happier ending than the original (and better) 1933 classic. A great cast with Vincent Price's first appearance (but can an Invisible Man ever really make an appearance?) in the part. Cedric Hardwicke, Alan "Alfred" Napier and Cecil Kellaway also appear, along with Nan Grey, the actress who previously played Lili in Dracula's Daughter (1936), long one of my favorite Universal-Dracula sequels. Vincent Price would later give voice (briefly) to the invisible man at the end of Abbott and Costello meet Frankenstein (1948)
(2-4) It has been so long since I have seen the other three sequels that I don't feel I can honestly rate them.
I believe Jon Hall played the title role in Invisible Agent and The Invisible Man's Revenge, while Virginia Bruce closed the gender gap by starring as The Invisible Woman.
