[edit] Goofs
- Crew or equipment visible: During the last half of the film, visible wires/strings are being used to stage many of the invisibility effects, most notably in the scene where the invisible Robert Griffin lifts the unconscious Mark Foster up unto the table in the wine cellar and in three different close-up shots of Brutus (Dr. Drury's dog) howling (a wire/string is clearly visible in each scene, holding the dog's muzzle up).
