Auction History Result 6d272 TOPPER German program '38 Constance Bennett, Cary Grant, different images & artwork! Date Sold 3/29/2015 Sold For: Login or Register to see sold price. An Original 1938 (from the first release of this movie in Germany) Vintage German Film Program (measures 9" x 11 1/2" [23 x 29 cm]; 8 pages) (Learn More) 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.

Important Added Info: Note that we have provided an image of four of the pages of this 8-page program (we did this by opening it and laying it flat and photographing the front and back cover together, and two of the interior pages together). You can see the four of the eight pages, and can well determine the exact condition of it from our super-sized image, but realize that there are four pages you are not seeing. But of course this means that the front cover appears in the top right of our image, but normally, the program would be folded down the center and you would view the cover by itself (and it will be sent folded as was originally intended). Condition: very good to fine. Learn More about condition grades
