An Original 1942 (from the first release of this movie in Spain) Vintage Theatrical Spanish Movie Herald (measures 3 1/2" x 4 3/4" [9 x 12 cm]) (Learn More) Topper Takes a Trip, the 1939 Norman Z. McLeod romantic fantasy ghost divorce comedy sequel ("Topper is back and in trouble again!"; "More trouble for Topper... More fun for you!"; "Thorne Smith's famous Topper is on the loose again... with his vanishing girlfriend and her bag of tricks!"; produced by Hal Roach; in this sequel, Mrs. Topper is considering divorcing Mr. Topper, and in a complicated story, he goes on a trip to France, and the ghost of Marion Kerby and her dog Mr. Atlas help him get reunited with his wife) starring Constance Bennett (as Marion Kerby), Roland Young (in the title role as Cosmo Topper), Billie Burke (as Mrs. Topper), Alan Mowbray, Verree Teasdale, Franklin Pangborn, Alexander D'arcy, Mr. Atlas, Asta (billed as "Skippy"), and Paul Hurst. Note that Topper was an extremely successful 1937 fantasy that starred Constance Bennett and Cary Grant as a young couple that dies and return as ghosts to help Roland Young. But when they wanted to make a sequel two years later, Cary Grant declined to participate (he was too big a star!), so a script 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.

Important Added Info: Note that the Spanish distributor of this movie knew that Cary Grant would greatly help the movie, but, as noted above, Grant had declined to appear in this sequel. So they incredibly deceptively put his image on the front of the herald and wrote "with the knowledge and thanks of Cary Grant" next to it! We have never seen Grant pictured on any advertising for this movie before. Also note that we have pictured the front and back of this 4-page Spanish herald. We opened it up and photographed the front and back together, but of course, normally you view it with just the front cover showing, because it was folded. Condition: good to very good.
