Rating:  - topper returns
What can I say, my wife and I love these types of old movies. Its great to get out of the every day stress and have a few laughs.
Rating: - As close to perfect as you can get
That's right, this movie has everything. It has an all-star cast, a mansion, a murder, a ghost, and comedy! One review I read for this movie said it was the perfect rainy day movie. To that I agree. I remember the first time I saw this movie, it was pouring down rain and I remember Tom Hatten giving the introduction to it on the "Family Film Festival", a Los Angeles TV show every weekend back in the 1980's.
Cosmo Topper (Young) picks up two women (Blondell and Landis) whose taxi has broken down and takes them to their destination, an old mansion on a hill. Later that night one of the women is murdered and her ghost finds Topper once again, drags him and his chauffer (Rochester) back to the mansion to find the murderer. This intimate gathering becomes large as Topper's wife (Burke) and maid follow shortly thereafter. Also joining the party is the taxi cab driver that had broken down, along with the household of the rich old man, his doctor (Zucco), maid and butler. Oh, did I forget the police chief and officers? Even with this somewhat large staff the movie is easy to follow, they all interact well, and everyone gets in some jokes.
The only disappointing thing about this DVD is that there are no, and I mean NO extras or special features.
This movie is really a treat to anyone who hasn't seen it before.
Rating:  - Rainy Day Movie
This is the type of movie when you do not feel like doing the work you should be doing, it's raining and you need a little comedy, a little mystery and a good story line. That's Topper Returns. I've always loved Rochester and I enjoy the part when he says "I'm going back to Mr. Benny. Nothing like this ever happens with him." This can be watched with the family without putting your hands over little eyes and ears. I am positive you'll get a chuckle out of this one.
Rating: - What a fun movie.
I wish we really had a here-after like in this film. Then I wouldn't fear death so much. This was fun to watch. I loved the mansion on the hill. Where on earth do they have places like this? I'd love to stay in one sometime. Wouldn't it be nice? Only, I wouldn't want to end up like the girl in this movie. I liked this movie. The DVD skips in a few places though and is frustrating, only when that happens.
