(May's native language was German, and he spoke little English.) The cast of the film included Vincent Price (in his first horror film role), Cecil Kellaway, Sir Cedric Hardwicke, Nan Grey, Alan Napier and John Sutton. The film ran for 81 minutes in black-and-white with mono sound and holds an 89% at Rotten Tomatoes. The production ran slightly over budget, costing $270,000, but it returned good box office revenues. The special effects by John P. Fulton, Bernard B. Brown and William Hedgcock received an Oscar nomination in the category Best Special Effects. In the chronology styled documentary, Ted Newson's 100 Years of Horror (1996), Price recalls that the undressing of the scarecrow scene took several hours to shoot, for only three minutes of on screen time. The transparent effect was done with black velvet covering the actor."@en . . . "270000.0"^^ . "4860.0"^^ . . . . . . . . . "The Invisible Man Returns"@en . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . "190"^^ . .

Universal would revisit the concept in the 1951 comedy Abbott and Costello Meet the Invisible Man. (At the end of the 1948 film Abbott and Costello Meet Frankenstein, Vincent Price makes a brief voice-only cameo as the Invisible Man; however, the 1951 film features a different \"Invisible Man\" character played by a different actor.) The Invisible Man Returns is set in 1906. The Invisible Man (1933) was set in 1897, and a scene in Returns has the police inspector saying that those events happened \"9 years ago\"."@en . . . . . . . "The Invisible Man Returns"@en . . . .
