The Amazing Transparent Man (1960)
With Marguerite Chapman, Douglas Kennedy, James Griffith, Ivan Triesault, Boyd Morgan, Norman Smith, Patrick Cranshaw
Directed by Edgar G. Ulmer
The Amazing Transparent Man is a 1960 American science fiction thriller B-movie directed by Edgar G. Ulmer and starring Marguerite Chapman (in her final feature film) and Douglas Kennedy. The plot follows an insane ex–U.S. Army major who uses an escaped criminal to steal materials to improve the invisibility machine his scientist prisoner made. It was one of two sci-fi films shot back-to-back in Dallas, Texas by Ulmer (the other was Beyond the Time Barrier, also released that same year). The production had an approximate budget of $100,000 or a little over $1,000,000 today (2025). The combined filming schedule for both films was only two weeks.
