Trivia
In order to achieve the effect that Claude Rains wasn't there when his character took off the bandages, the director had Rains dressed completely in black velvet and filmed him in front of a black velvet background.

According to information given on TCM before the movie is shown, Claude Rains was also chosen for the role because he spoke with such clarity and could be easily understood. This was important since he was 'invisible' or his face was covered for almost the entire film.

According to the March 1975 issue of "Films in Review" Robert Florey, Cyril Gardner, and Ewald André Dupont were all considered as director before James Whale was finally assigned.

Goofs
The hospital doctor says the effect of the invisibility drug will die along with Dr. Griffin (the invisible man). Since the invisibility drug is unknown to anyone, there's no way for him to make such a "knowledgeable" statement.

When Jenny enters the Invisible Man's room with the mustard, the way he holds the napkin to hide his lower face changes in between shots.

Although the Invisible Man makes a note of having to be naked to be invisible, the footprints he leaves in the snow at the end of the film are those of a man wearing shoes.

Q
What is the music playing on Kemp's radio?
A
Rudy Behlmer explains in the DVD commentary track:The tune being played on the radio is that apotheosis of maudlin sentimentality, "Hearts and Flowers," performed in an old-fashioned-like manner, even for 1933, on what sounds like an upright piano with all the frills and trills. Presumably, this is an inside joke put in by a music editor some years later to replace the music used for the initial release of the film, that music being 'La Rosita,' a 1923 composition that became a semi-standard. The substitution probably stemmed from a music clearance situation.
