I didn't expect much from this installment, but it was actually quite entertaining! A bit cheesy, and a more comedic approach to the concept than its predecessors. Virginia Bruce is also a beautiful woman, by the way, but you don't really see much of her because, well, she's invisible, of course!

Still, it is a film that makes good use of its full running time (which isn't much, barely 1 hour and 12 minutes) and even today it can still keep up well in terms of the pace of the plot.

Very entertaining stuff, bad in a good way and very enjoyable to watch.

Why not, just give it a 4!
