| Topper - Cosmo Topper, shy, stuffed-shirt banker, finds his humdrum, stuck-in-a-rut life turned topsy-turvy when his path crosses that of two very fun-loving ghosts, George and Marian Kirby. The wacky ghosts, killed in an automobile accident, are earth-bound until they perform a good deed. They’ve decided on Topper as the object of their assistance, setting out to bring some excitement and zip into his life. The resuIt is bedlam, a near-end to Topper’s marriage and utter hilarity for the viewer. Cary Grant and Constance Bennett are the mad-cap Kirby’s, whiIe RoIand Young created a masterful characterization as the bewiIdered and haunted Topper, a roIe he would repeat in two more fiIms. Look for Hedda Hopper and Hoagy Carmichael among the pIayers in this cIassic comedy-fantasy spiced with the special Hal Roach touch. Topper Takes a Trip - That attractive screwbalI ghost from the first ‘Topper’ comedy returns into his life so she can join her husband ‘up there’ by helping the meek banker. Her efforts bring bedIam and laughs. Topper returns - Thorne Smith’s famous character turns amateur detective as the ghost of a beautiful, murdered girl (played by Joan BlondelI) enlists him to try and find her killer in an eerie old house, filIed with trap doors, secret passages and plenty of eccentric characters. |
