(1941) The Body Disappears
COMEDY
It has yuppie and jokester, Peter DeHaven (Jeffrey Lynn) engaged to be married and having a bachelor party with his friends, George "Doc" Appleby (Herbert Anderson), Terence Abbott (DeWolf Hopper) and Jimmie Barbour (David Bruce). When as soon as it was time to leave, the only person who was passed out was Peter. Because Peter earlier played some jokes on his friends, while he was passed out they decide to put one on him by letting him sleeping it off in the college morgue. It is during then Professor Reginald X Shotesbury (Edward Everett Horton) instructs his assistant, William (Willie Best) to go into the college morgue next door to carry a body out into his lab, and it happens to be Peter DeHaven. The professor then pricks a needle into him calling his discovery a breakthrough, and it was at this point Peter disappears or turns invisible- hence the title "The Body Disappears". This was also during the time, the professor's daughter, Joan Shotesbury (Jane Wyman) happens to come home too. She becomes his eventual love interest.
Very amusing comedy with many gags that involves Peter's invisibility. It begins to be routine and it gets better.
