Topper, the classic 1937 Norman Z. McLeod fantasy ghost comedy ("90 Roaring Minutes of Laughs!"; "Based on the novel by Thorne Smith"; produced by Hal Roach; about a handsome young couple who are killed, and they come back as ghosts, but only one man can see them, which causes many comic results) starring Constance Bennett (as Marion Kerby, the female ghost), Cary Grant (as George Kerby, the male ghost), Roland Young (nominated for the Best Actor Academy Award for this film; in the title role as Cosmo Topper), Billie Burke (Roland Young and Billie Burke are billed as "as Mr. and Mrs."), Alan Mowbray, Eugene Pallette, and Hoagy Carmichael (in a minor uncredited role!). Note that this was an extremely successful movie, and naturally, MGM wanted to make a sequel, but two years later, Cary Grant declined to participate (he was too big a star!), and a script for the sequel was written where he was still in Heaven, and Constance Bennett was accompanied by a dog, Mr. Atlas (played by Asta, the famous dog from the "Thin Man" series!). Two years later, another sequel was made, but Bennett did not return for this sequel, and Joan Blondell starred as a different ghost in need of Mr. Topper's help. In 1953, a successful TV show was made based on this movie, and it starred Leo G. Carroll as Cosmo Topper, and Anne Jeffreys and Robert Sterling as the ghosts, and the show ran for three seasons.
