The Invisible Man (1958 TV series)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Invisible Man was a 1958 ITC Entertainment series for Associated TeleVision. The series was networked on CBS in the United States. It ran for 26 half-hour monochrome episodes across two seasons and was loosely based on the novel by H.G. Wells, one of four such television series.
The series follows the adventures of Doctor Peter Brady, a British scientist who has an accident which turns him permanently invisible. He searches for an antidote but also uses his invisibility to help the government solve crimes and defeat spies.
