Anecdotes
This was shot back-to-back with Le voyageur de l'espace (1960). The combined shooting schedule was only two weeks. They became Edgar G. Ulmer's last American films.

Gaffes
The rear-view mirror in the getaway car in the opening scenes appears and disappears based on if the camera is filming from the hood of the car.

Citations
Major Paul Krenner: I must know the full potential of your invention because my aim is to make an entire army invisible. Do you understand that? An entire army.

Crédits fous
Opening credits are shown on a gray prison wall with a searchlight passing over it.

Versions alternatives
There have been three prints of this film:
The original negative print by Miller Consolidated Pictures (MCP). The film opens with the MCP company logo, and retains the pre-credits prologue. The film does not have any end titles; it ends with Dr. Peter Ulof (Ivan Triesault) facing the camera, asking "What would you do?" And the film simply fades to black. This version is available on DVD by MGM Home Entertainment (with the MGM "Lion" logo added at the beginning and after the end).
The theatrical release print by American International Pictures (AIP). The AIP logo (with ominous fanfare) replaces the MCP logo at the beginning, and is also added at the end (right after Dr. Ulof's "What would you do?" speech after fadeout). This is the version used on The Amazing Transparent Man (1995).
A public domain print, possibly used for syndicated/local TV. The MCP logo and the film's prologue are omitted, and begins at the film's title. A "The End" title card (plain font placed within a four-square gray/screentone background) was tacked on (complete with a relieved, low-tone piano cue), fading in after Dr. Ulof's "What would you do?" speech, and fading out.

"AMAZING"? Perhaps "MILDLY INTERESTING" Would Have Been Closer To The Truth...

After being helped to break out of prison, Joey Faust (Douglas Kennedy) is taken to a rural location, where he is introduced to the man responsible for his release. Faust's new benefactor is a criminal mastermind, named Maj. Paul Krenner (James Griffith).

Krenner has big plans for Faust, involving radiation, invisibility, and world domination. Of course, there's a mad scientist doddering about the premises, waxing melodramatic at every opportunity!

Fairly predictable, with the requisite double cross, THE AMAZING TRANSPARENT MAN is just fun enough to offset its silliness. At less than an hour in length, it's also too short to become a total nuisance!

FULL DISCLOSURE: The real reason I watch this movie is due to the fact that it has the beautiful Marguerite Chapman (FLIGHT TO MARS) in its cast. Playing the role of Laura Matson, Ms. Chapman makes me feel glad to be alive! One raised eyebrow from her, and I... Well, never mind! Anyway, the rest is typical 1950's / early 60's sci-fi cheeeze...
