10/10
NOW YOU SEE HIM, NOW YOU DON'T(1972) Definitely the best in the series

Warning: Spoilers
This is my favorite movie of the Dexter Riley movie series starring Kurt Russell as Dexter, Joe Flynn as Dean Higgins, Cesar Romero as A. J. Arno and William Windom as Prof. Lufkin.

This movie is much funnier and entertaining than the last movie, THE COMPUTER WORE TENNIS SHOES (1969), not that it was a bad movie, just that this one's better.

Russell's character of Dexter Riley accidentally discovers how to turn physical matter invisible, and with said abilities sets out to find out what paroled crime boss A. J. Aro wants so badly with investment in Dexter's Alma Mater Medfield College.

On top of all that, the Dean of the school, played masterfully by Joe Flynn thinks he's a golfing pro when he's not, and gets a little help from an invisible Dexter. All the golfing tournaments in this film are HILARIOUS!! I laughed so hard.

Cesar Romero turns in a great performance as crime boss Arno. Romero is better known to younger audiences as The Joker from the 1960's Batman series starring Adam West.

Russell is backed up by supporting actors Michael McGreevy as Skylar spelled Schuyler but pronounced Skylar, and Joyce Menges as Debbie.

10 STARS.
