September 14, 1958 –
H.G. Wells’ The Invisible Man starring Tim Turner, Lisa Daniely, Deborah Watling, Ernest Clark, Bruce Seton, Honor Blackman, Joan Hickson, Leslie Phillips, and Oliver Reed premiered on this date.
As a publicity gimmick, the actor playing the Invisible Man himself was never credited, either on-screen or in TVTimes, but Johnny Scripps played Brady without the bandages, i.e. apparently headless but otherwise dressed. Being a little person, he was able to see through the buttonholes in Brady’s coat. Tim Turner provided Brady’s voice, also without on-screen credit, using a transatlantic accent in order to help ITC sell the series to the United States.
